The scutellum is almost completely denuded. Only two scales 
ean be seen, and these are flat, and thus tend to show it is a 
Uranotaenia ; but as they cannot be definitely stated to belong 
to the scutellum in its denuded state, and as the fork-cells are 
longer than in Uranotaenia and approach Mimomyia , I put a 
query against the genus. The species is very marked, owing to 
the bright thorax with two large black spots.

Closely resembles U. caeruleocepliala, Theob., but has the venter 
marked by white apical bands, which in certain lights are brilliantly 
luminous, though rather dull seen in certain other directions. There 
•are glistening white spots on the outer sides of the femora near the 
apex, especially marked on the hind legs, The large prothoracic lobes
