Length of vertex 1.4 times width at base, base not quite twice as 
wide as apex, sides straight, apex projecting slightly beyond eyes, 
base situated slightly behind middle of eyes; frons 1.7 times longer 
than wide at apex, lateral margins almost straight on basal two-thirds, 
thence arcuately expanding to apex; concave in middle; median 
carina distinct except at apex; antennae not reaching to apex of 
clypeus, second segment three times as long as the first. 
Stramineous, apex of vertex and basal third of frons very pale 
fuscous, a round fuscous spot above each eye; a white band across 
apical third of frons widely bordered fuscous basally, narrowly so 
distally; a white spot bordered with black near lateral margin of 
pronotum; second antennal segment fuscous dorsally and at apex; 
pro- and mesofemora with a very pale fuscous spot at apex, metafemora

Anal segment long, semitubular, anus at apex. Pygofer with anal 
angle produced about half the length of anal segment, somewhat 
flattened and roughened distally and curved mesad, rounded at apex; 
a broad short spine, directed outward, arising inside lateral margin 
below anal angle, ventrad of this a second more slender spine directed 
obliquely upward; medioventral process consisting of two straight 
slender spines joined near base. Diaphragm with a long slender spine

U.S. N. M. No. 56681. This species differs from pictifrons Stal and 
williams Muir in the genitalia, and from both and the female types 
of belemensis Muir, heliconiae Muir, and longicaput Muir in the 
proportions of the head and antennae, and in color pattern.
