content: Female - Length 9.5 mm. Head: Antennae black, rather stout; first two segments with long black hairs. Front dull orange-brown, thickly covered with pale hairs. Frontal callosity black. Frontoclypeus orange pollinose, covered with long pale hairs. There is a small dark denuded spot on each side of the frontoclypeus ad two very small denuded spots directly above the margin of the mouth. Cheeks orange pollinose shading to fuscus below; a small denuded area is present on the lower part of each cheek. Palpi orange. Proboscis fuscous. Thorax: Dorsum greenish black with golden hairs and faint indications of two yellow longitudinal stripes; a yellow stripe runs the length of the thorax directly above the base of the wing. Scutellum greenish black. Pleurae fuscous with golden hairs, partly yellow pollinose. Halteres black. Legs slender; all coxae and femora black; anterior femora with a reddish tinge; all tibiae and tarsi orange-brown with apex of anterior tibia and apical tarsi segments shading to fuscous. Wing as figured; wind membrane with a brownish tinge and wing picture not sharply defined; first basal cell about two-thirds and second basal cell about one-third infuscated; the crossband reaches the wing margin only along the vein separating the fifth posterior and anal cells; a narrow projection reaches from the crossband to the bend in the upper branch of the third longitudinal vein. The apical spot is practically separated from the crossband, crossing broadly over the upper branch of the third longitudinal vein but not extending very far into the second submarginal cell. Abdomen: First four tergites predominantly orange; first tergite with two black separated spots partly concealed beneath scutellum; second tergite with two similar spots arising from anterior margin and extending three-quarters of the way to the posterior margin; third and fourth tergites similar to second but the spots are smaller and in addition a small black spot lies on the lateral margin of each segment; fifth tergite with two more or less united black spots on each side, leaving an orange area between them and an orange posterior margin; sixth and seventh tergites black with an orange posterior margin. First four sternites orange with a fuscous spot in the center; remaining sternites fuscous with an orange posterior margin. Entire abdomen thickly clothed with golden hairs.
