Thorax with median and lateral dark lines, bluish-grey 
between, covered with scattered white scales and brown hairs, 
the latter pale in some lights ; scutellum ochraceous, dark in the 
middle; metanotum dark brown ; pleurae fuscous. 
Abdomen dusky brown, with faint ferruginous posterior 
borders to the segments; clothed with golden hairs. 
Legs with the femora, tibiae and metatarsi banded dark 
purplish-brown and white; first tarsal joint of the fore- and 
mid-legs with a minute white tip, others icith a very faint spot; 
in the hind legs the metatarsi and all the tarsal joints except 
the last white-tipped, hind metatarsi with two narrow white 
bands. 
Wings with the costa black, with three long white spots and 
three smaller ones towards the base. First sub-marginal cell 
much longer and narrower than the second posterior cell, its base 
a little nearer the base of the wing than the base of the second 
posterior cell; posterior cross-vein rather more than its own 
length distant from the mid cross-vein ; veins with very dark 
scales forming small ^patches, remainder also covered with long 
scales, paler than the others, creamy wdiite in some lights; the 
sub-costal transverse vein placed considerably beyond the middle 
of the auxiliary vein. 
Halteres with pale stem and dark knob. 
Length. —3 • 5 to 4 * 5 mm. 
£. Antennae ochraceous-brown with silky-brown plumes, 
ochraceous in some lights, brown in others j palpi dark brown, 
with patches of white on the upper side towards the apex; 
proboscis black. Male genitalia with white scales on the basal 
joints. 
Length. —4*5 mm. 
Habitat. —Bupengary, Queensland (Bancroft) (5. 12. and 
8. and 29. 5. 1899) ; Blue Mountains, N.S.W. (Masters). 
Observations. —Very like and closely related to the former, 
but the $ can easily be told from A. annulipes by the proboscis 
being paler at the tip. It is also smaller in size, and Skuse 
says that the sub-costal transverse vein is placed considerably 
beyond the middle of the auxiliary vein, whilst in A. annulipes it 
is situated in the middle.
