only one segment visible (probably one-segmented as in other spe- 
cies), blackish, with short dense pale hairs over entire surface; pro- 
boscis brownish yellow, with pale hairs. 
Thorax with mesonotum blackish, with strong dark greenish 
metallic reflections, post alar calli slightly brownish, scutellum con- 
colorous with mesonotum, but with two pale yellowish spines; 
pleura similar to dorsum in coloration, although metallic reflections 
are less strong, with meron + katepimeron brownish; mesonotum 
finely rugose, thus only somewhat shiny; scutellum rather short and 
broad, with apical spines short, directed about 45° above plane of 
scutellum; thorax with thin, inconspicuous, grayish tomentosity on 
prosternum, meron + katepimeron, anatergite, mediotergite, and 
subscutellum; thorax mostly pilose, hairs longest on mesonotum 
where longer hairs are about as long as hairs on face, bare on middle 
part of anepisternum, posterior fourth of anepimeron, all of meron- 
+ katepimeron, subscutellum, and mediotergite; mesonotal and 
scutellar hairs consist of longer, brownish hairs and short whitish 
hairs, both types more or less erect, other pilosity uniform and 
whitish; front legs brownish black, yellowish at extreme apices of 
femora and bases of tibiae, middle and hind legs similar except that 
extreme apices of tibiae and entire tarsomeres one to three are pale 
yellowish; pilosity of legs mostly short, longer on posterior surfaces 
of femora, mostly pale yellowish but brownish on part of front 
tibiae, most of front tarsi, and last two tarsomeres of middle and 
hind legs; wing mostly hyaline, apex of cell sc and all of r, brownish, 
with a brownish spot at apex of R 2+3 that extends posteriorly 
through R4+5, and with a vague brownish band extending through 
most of cell cup to middle of M ,, apex of wing contrastingly hyaline; 
most of wing with microtrichia, but basal half of cell behind stem 
vein and posterior three-fourths of alula bare; R2+3 short and 
straight, R 4 absent, M 3 present and distinct but evanescent at base. 
Abdomen dark brown, without metallic reflections; typical for 
genus, long and narrow, gradually widening to apex of third seg- 
ment, then gradually narrowing to the rounded fifth segment; with 
little tomentosity, thinly present only at sides of first tergite and 
sternite; dorsal pilosity brownish, short and only semi-erect over 
most of surface, long and straight laterally, a little longer than on 
face, sternites with fairly short, mostly yellowish hairs; genitalia
