bands of pure white scales, and bordered posteriorly with golden 
hairs; venter with broad white scaled basal bands. 
Legs with the fore femora black scaled above, white scaled 
below, and with an apical white spot ; fore and mid tibiae 
black, slightly pale at the base, forming with the femoral speck 
a white knee spot, hind tibiae with white apical scales and 
dilated at the apex ; metatarsi and first two tarsal joints pale at 
the base, quite white in the hind legs ; hind metatarsi the same 
length as the tibiae ; ungues equal and simple. 
Wings with the veins covered with brown scales, the lateral 
ones long and slender on most of the veins ; first sub-marginal 
cell a little longer and slightlv narrower than the second 
posterior cell; stem of the former a little more than half the 
length of the cell; base of the second posterior cell a little 
nearer the base of the wing than that of the first sub-marginal, 
its stem rather more than half the length of the cell; posterior 
cross-vein twice its own length distant from the mid cross-vein ; 
fringe brown. 
Halteres ochraceous, slightly fuscous at the tip.

. Head with creamy upright forked scales on each side

veins than in the 9 1 both fork-cells short, the base of the 
second posterior cell nearer the base of the wing than that of 
the first sub-marginal cell; stem of the latter equal to the length 
of the cell; stem of the second posterior not quite so long as 
the cell; posterior cross-vein nearly twice its own length distant 
from the mid cross-vein and somewhat longer. 
Length. —4 to 4*5 mm.
