ie upper half anteriorly, a patch of yellow and brown ligulate scales 
iiserted below this notch; mid coxae with a small patch of yellow scales 
n the outer face ; femora of all the legs with a ring of dark yellow scales 
t the base and more or less complete ring at the apex, between mottled 
nd banded with dark yellow and dark brown scales; tibiae the same as 
-ie femora; the metatarsi of fore and mid legs are basally banded and clad 
nth dark brown scales with a few scattered golden ones more numerous on 
he ventral surface ; tarsi scaled dark brown with broad creamy-yellow basal 
ands; hind metatarsi clad with dark purple-brown scales and with creamy- 
ellow band at their base, tarsi basally banded, last tarsal joint canary- 
ellow. A row of golden spines is inserted along the whole length of 
ach face of all the femora and tibiae. Fore and mid ungues equal and 
niserrate, hind equal and simple. 
Abdomen .—Relatively slight. The living fly carries its abdomen flexed 
i a quarter circle. The labellae are very large and prominent, and scaling 
ense, the scales being dark purple-brown ; on the dorsum at the base of the 
hird segment are a few dark yellow scales, on the fourth segment there are 
wo distinct patches about the middle of the segment, on the fifth there are 
numerous golden-brown scales on the apical half and on the remaining 
egments the golden-brown scales predominate giving the apex of the 
.bdomen a yellowish-brown colour. On the venter the basal half of all the 
e°rnents is scaled golden-brown. In another specimen the first segment has 
. narrow basal band of golden scales and two small patches as in the male. 
The band consists of two semi-circular patches and the small patches are 
ittached like pendants. The second segment is similarly marked and after 
hat gold scales predominate. 
Male Head .—Colour and scaling as in the female. Basal joint of 
mtenna golden-brown with a patch of ligulate golden-yellow scales on the 
nner face, remaining joints dusky with a dark ring at the insertion of the 
verticils. Plumes golden-brown near their insertions darkening to a light 
mrple-brown towards the tips. Palpi longer than the proboscis by about 
he last joint, four-jointed, basal joint golden-brown, nude, constricted in its 
:entre, about half as long as the terminal joint, second joint about as long as 
he other three joints together, with a narrow ring of black scales at its base 
hen a broad band of golden-yellow scales then a narrow band of black 
;cales followed by a band of golden-yellow and then a broad band of black 
scales, third joint golden scaled except for a few black scales on the upper 
surface at the apex and covered with numerous silky pale brown hairs, 
lltimate joint with golden scales at the base and black scales on the apical 
wo-thirds. Proboscis except for a few black scales at the base entirely 
covered with golden-yellow scales; about the junction of the middle and 
ipical thirds the proboscis shews a distinct joint. 
Thorax .—Similar to the female. Wings: fork cells smaller than in the 
emale, stem of first fork cell nearly twice as long as the cell, the cell much 
narrower and about as long as the second its base much nearer the apex of 
he wing; posterior cross vein nearer mid cross vein than in the female but 
I itill on the apical side. There are fewer lateral scales there being none on 
:he second posterior cell. Legs; the golden scales are more numerous on 
:he femora; the fore and mid ungues are unequal, the larger unguis is 
mi-serrate the small simple.
