of fore tarsus, the terminal segment dark, strongly swollen; 
maxillary palpi pale; scape pale, dark below; pedicel in- 
fuscated dorsally; flagellar segments dark with wide apical 
pale bands. 
Median pronotal stripes united behind furrow; before 
furrow divergent, usually separated by pale. Lateral stripes 
well separated from medians, narrow, anterior ends curv- 
ed mesad. Marginal stripes absent. Mesoscutellum with two 
stripes, narrow anteriorly, well separated. Metascutellar 
stripes fused for about % their length. 
Fore coxae pale with basal and apical dark areas on 
lateral surface. Mid and hind coxae dark basally, grading 
to pale apically. Femora dotted with dark, the dots often 
confluent, particularly on posterior side of fore femur, 
anterior side of mid femur, and on hind femur ; tibiae with 
dark subbasal (faint on hind leg), preapical (absent on 
hind leg), and apical bands; fore and mid tibiae dotted with 
dark. Tarsomeres pale with apical dark bands, third and 
fourth often wholly dark. 
Abdomen ( $ ) : dark, second tergite with basal and apical 
pale spots; third, fourth, and fifth with a pale band each 
side, wider at base, middle, and apex of segments; sixth, 
seventh, and eighth tergites with pale basal, intermediate, 
and apical pale spots each side. Ectoprocts short, conical, 
divergent. Posterior margin of ninth sternite with tooth- 
like projection. Gonarcus and parameres (Figures 15, 16) : 
mediuncus long; inner margin of parameres curves out- 
ward at hinge to form a high, thin strut, bracing hook. 
( 9 ) : dark, second tergite pale basally and apically, third 
to seventh tergites with pale basal, intermediate, and apical 
spots each side, third and fourth sternites pale apically. 
Setae on legs mostly white, on thorax white, on abdomen 
short, white, a few dark on apical segments. Hind spurs 
as long as 1 % tarsomeres. 
Wings: venation pale, interrupted with dark at inter- 
sections of cross veins; most cross veins dark. Dark marks 
at base of stigma, both ends of hypostigmatic cell, along 
CuA, in a line from rhegma toward tip of wing, and at end 
of CuA 2 . On hind wing a dark spot at base of stigma, other- 
wise unmarked.
