Lerjs bright yellow, hind trochanters without process ; hind femora exceedingly incrassated (as in Syritta), with a broad black median band, widest on upper side, and a narrow black apical band ; below near tip bluntly carinate and enlarg^'d, with a ninnber of short blnck spines of difierent lengths ; hind tibiae well curved, entirely black; hind tarsi and tips of anterior pairs black. Winr/s pale grey, anterior cross-vein just beyond middle of discal cell and dislinctly sloping; stigma pale yellow, halteres yellow, squanne yellow with vellow fringe, Lenf/(h, 11 mm. Described from a c? from Singla, iv. 1!)13, and a 2 from Darjiling, 1000-3000 ft., v. 1912. Another specimen from above Tura, 3500-3000 ft., viii. ]9\7 (Kemp). The hind femora are much more incrassated than is normal in Xylota, but the species fits into this genus better than elsewhere. It might be placed in Syritta, to which its general resemblance is striking, but for the position of the anterior cross-vein. Types in Indian Museum.
