content: Total length 16 millimeters. Abdomen bright reddish yellow on the sides with a regular black middorsal stripe at least a millimeter in width. The seventh abdominal segment is wholly dark brown both above and below and the extreme lateral edges of most of the other abdominal segments is of the same color, and there is a midventral black stripe also, so the dorsal and ventral views present almost exactly the same coloration. First antennal segment mostly reddish distinctly enlarged above somewhat produced forward and furnished with short black pile, third segment dark, only very slightly reddish at the extreme base, basally with a distinct angle above but not produced. Palpi reddish, rather slender, about two-thirds as long as the dark colored proboscis. Front of average width, frontal callosity widest below where it is distinctly narrower than the front, narrowed gradually above and reaching two-thirds of the distance to the vertex. Legs fuscous except all tibiae are reddish on basal half or more. Wings reddish hyaline, all the cross veins and furcation of the third vein narrowly margined with fuscous. Anterior branch of the third vein with a very short stump near its base.
