“ £. Head as in oidipodeios, hut the scales are less blue. 
Antennae, palpi, proboscis, clypeus ; as in oidipodeios. Thorax : 
very similar to that of the former. 
Pro thoracic lobes, pleurae, hal teres, scutellum, metanotum 
as in oidipodeios. 
Abdomen very similar to that of oidipodeios. A velvety black, 
with broad bands of white basal banding on the venter; these 
bands become oblique laterally, and apical on the sixth segment 
and dorsal on the seventh segment, but do not meet in the 
middle line dorsally. There are golden ventral spots on the sixth 
and seventh segments. Abdomen is compressed laterally and 
flattened and expanded towards the extremity. 
Legs as in oidipodeios, but the two last segments of the tarsi 
are pure white and of normal form. 
Wings : colour and scales very similar to those of oidipodeios. 
Eirst submarginal cell one-third of its length longer than 
the second posterior cell. The stem of the first submarginal 
more than half as long as the cell. All these cross-veins are 
closer together. Sixth vein turns at right angles to costa at its 
extremity. 
Genitalia : externally very similar to oidipodeios. 
Length.— 4 mm. 
9 . Head as in male. Antennae : the verticillate hairs are 
shorter and less numerous. 
Palpi very short, and less densely scaled than in the former. 
Proboscis and clypeus, pleurae and prothoracic lobes, thorax 
and scutellum, and halteres as in male. 
Abdomen : the venter a pale golden colour, with brown apical 
bands on the fourth, fifth and sixth segments. The dorsum and 
sides are velvety black, with oblique white basal lateral bands, 
becoming apical on the sixth and seventh segments. Abdomen 
narrowed towards its extremity. Legs and tarsi: as in male. 
Wings: first submarginal cell more than one-third of its 
length longer than the second posterior. The stem of the first 
submarginal is less than half the length of the cell. The super¬ 
numerary and mid cross-veins are close together; the posterior 
cross-vein about its own length towards the base of the wing. 
Sixth vein as in male. 
Length. —4 mm.
