an apical patch of white scales; mid-femur 
anteriorly with a distinct median line of white 
scales which is separated from the apical 
white patch by dark scales; hind femur an- 
teriorly with a broad white longitudinal 
stripe, this stripe widest at base and only 
slightly interrupted from apical white patch. 
Tibiae dark. Fore and mid-tarsi with a basal 
white patch on segments I-II; hind tarsal 
segments I-IV with basal white bands, V all 
white, the band on I occupying from one- 
fourth to one-third length of segment and 
interrupted on inner surface, on II about one 
third, on III about one half, on IV about 
two thirds or more. Tarsal claws of fore and 
midlegs unequal, each unidentate; of hind 
legs equal, simple. Wings: Dark, a small patch 
of white scales basally on costa. Halter knob 
dark- scaled. Abdomen: Tergite I with lateral 
margin white-scaled; II-VI with subbasal 
(more noticeable on posterior segments) 
narrow white bands, these turning abruptly 
caudad at dorsolateral margin and there end- 
ing near the large oblique dorsolateral spots 
(attached to these spots on at least one seg- 
ment), the band on II interrupted; tergite 
VII, and sometimes VI, with the band broken 
on either side of a median patch. Sternites 
II-VI with basal white bands. Terminalia: 
Basal lobe of basistyle truncate, with a ventro- 
apical area of well-developed setae. 
Female: Wing length 3. 0-3. 7 mm. Similar 
to male. Palpus about one-fifth length of 
proboscis, with large white patch on dorsal 
side of apical segment. Line of white scales 
on front femur absent or poorly developed.

2 single; 3 double. Mesothoracic hair 9 with 
2- 3 branches; 10 and 12 single, stout, long; 
11 single, small. Metathoracic pleural hair 
group similar to above, except that 12 is re- 
duced. Abdomen: Dorsolateral hair on I with 
3- 4 branches; on II with 2-3. Lateral hair on 
I single; on II and III with 2-3 branches; on 
IV and V double; on VI single or double. 
Pentad hair 1 with 3-6 branches; 2 and 4 
single; 3 and 5 with 3-7. Comb with 8-10 
strong teeth in a row, each tooth with a 
lateral fringe on attached portion and extend- 
ing onto shaft. Siphon smooth, without acus,

branches, inserted near middle of siphon;
