content: Total length 16 millimeters. Body unsually robust. Thorax brown with very faint gray stripes, especially anteriorly, abdomen distinctly paler in color than the thorax, but darkened apically and with a very small patch of yellow hairs in the middle of the dorsum on the posterior margin of each of segments two to six. First antennal segment enlarged and produced into a distinct angle dorsally where it is furnished with short black hairs; third segment mostly black with a long slender basal process which is about half the length of the segment. Front narrow, frontal callosity widest below, gradually narrowed above and visible for about three-fifths of the distance to the vertex. Wings nearly hyaline, front border only faintly yellowish, first posterior cell wide open, anterior branch of the third vein without a stump. Legs dark, nearly uniformly colored throughout, hind tibia distinctly ciliate out- wardly with a dense row of fine dark hairs. The species shows some relationship with members of the genus Stibosonla. Holotype female from Higuito, San Mateo, Costa Rico, collected by Pablo Schild. In the U.S. National Museum. Paratype with the same date in my collection. Two other specimens in the U.S. National Museum, one, only 13 mm in total length.
