ADULT: Scutum with a linear pattern of 
yellow lines. Hind tarsi with basal and apical 
markings on I-IV, V largely or all pale dor- 
sally in female. 
Male. Wing length about 2.4 mm. Head: 
Proboscis dark. Palpus about three-fourths as 
long as proboscis; similar in type to that of 
saxicola; all dark. Vertex dorsum with a 
median longitudinal area of narrow yellow 
scales (may be a few broad yellow scales 
marginally), an anterior submedian area of 
broad dark scales, and a lateral area of broad 
white scales which extends across the lateral 
surface, nape with a band of pale upright- 
forked scales. Thorax: Scutum with a pattern 
of broad yellow-scaled lines as follows: a 
longitudinal median line to prescutellar area 
where it forks to the posterior margin (this 
line of scales is parted medially), a complete 
longitudinal submedian line, a line or area 
along lateral margin from the beginning of 
the subdorsal line to over the wing base, a 
transverse line from lateral margin along 
anterior fossa to the subdorsal line, remainder 
of scutum dark-scaled. Scutellar mid lobe 
with narrow yellow scales medially, broad- 
ened dark scales laterally; lateral lobes with 
narrow yellow scales. Apn with broad pale 
scales; ppn with narrow yellow scales, some 
broadened scales may occur ventro-posterior- 
ly. The following pleural areas each with a

patch of broad white scales : propleural, sub- 
spiracular, prealar, dorsal sternopleural, medio- 
posterior sternopleural, and mesepimeral. 
Legs: Fore and mid femora anteriorly dark, a 
small basal pale area and a few scattered pale 
scales along the ventral margin. Hind femur 
pale anteriorly, with a subapical dark band 
that extends basally along the anterior mar- 
gin. Tibiae dark, a ventral area of pale scaling 
basally. Fore tarsus dark. Mid tarsus with a 
basal band on I, some indefinite pale scaling 
over the junction of I and II. Hind tarsus with 
basal and apical bands on I-III, a basal band 
on IV, complete only on I and at the base of 
II, V dark or else palish above. Wings: Dor- 
sally dark-scaled. Halter knob dark-scaled. 
Abdomen: Tergites dark-scaled, I with a 
lateral white band, II-VI with baso-lateral 
silvery- white spots, a few basal white scales 
medially on some of the segments. Sternites 
with basal silvery bands. Terminalia: Tergal 
surface of basistyle with a group of elongate 
bristles apically and a group of short ones 
basally; below this basal setose area and
