content: Holotype male, 16.5 mm. Head wider than throax; eyes bare, area of enlarged facets dull yellow, occupying upper three-fifths and rolled over occipital margin attenuating the band of smaller black facets about half way to vertex. No prominent margin of upright hairs, the tubercle at vertex ovoid, yellow, and with short yellow hairs at eye level. Entire body unicolorous bright orange without pattern, including all vestiture and appendages except for brown apical annuli, contrasting black labella, and dark tips of tibiae and tarsi which are also black haired; notum with yellow hairs, a few, inconspicuous, black hairs on tergites 2 to 4. Scapes about as long as tall, very little produced above, the annuli plainly shorter than the plate. Terminal palpal segment cylindrical, hardly twice as long as thick and with a slight, downward directed, blunt apical nipple. Theca yellow, a median plate in the black labella sclerotized and shiny. Abdomen rather elongate, suddenly tapered at last two segments. Wings, unfortunately, badly broken, yellow to tip of stigma and discal cell immediately beyond which the torn margins suggest either a contrasting blackish apex or crossband; anal lobes, tips of anal and cubital cells smoky. In complete specimens, it is anticipated that cell R5 may be closed at the wing margin. Subepaulets bare.
