FIGURE 276, PAGE 345 
Length of male 7.3 mm. Head with median length of crown from slightly 
less than three-fourths to almost eight-tenths interocular width and slightly 
less than one-half transocular width; clypeus convex medially, muscle im- 
pressions distinct. Male pygofer moderately produced, apical margin with a 
short triangular undifferentially-sclerotized process, with a few macrosetae 
near middle of posterior half of disk, without interspersed microsetae; plates 
extending posteriorly as far as pygofer apex, style extending posteriorly 
beyond apex of connective which is subtrapezoidal; aedeagus without 
processes, shaft scarcely decurved apically; paraphysis occurring as a median 
longitudinal unbranched bar. 
Ground color of dorsum black, crown unmarked; pronotum with a median 
longitudinal mark on disk; not attaining anterior or posterior margin and an 
oblique vitta on each side, not extending to anterior margin, red; scutellum 
with a large anteapical red spot; forewing with three prominent claval red 
markings, the basal one lobate, the middle a narrow transcommissural ar- 
cuate marking which extends anteriorly for a considerable distance and 
posteriorly a short distance along claval suture, the posterior marking ante- 
apical, transcommissural, and subovate, corium with three inner round red 
spots in an oblique row parallel to claval ‘suture, the anteriormost near mid- 
length of claval suture, and three lobate red spots extending mesad from 
costal margin, the anteriormost located opposite the midclaval spot, the mid- 
dle one slightly anterior to a point opposite claval apex and the apical one op- 
posite bases of apical cells and bordered with a small costal hyaline tri- 
angular area before and behind, and with two minute posterior round hya- 
line marginal spots more mesally on its posterior margin; apical portion of in- 
ner three apical cells hyaline; face, thoracic pleura, and venter, pale to dull
