Length of body: 5-9 mm. Length of wing: 6-11 mm. Locality.—W. Cape Province, Olifant's River Valley and Nama- qualand. (Transvaal and South African Museums.) The species seems to be slightly variable in size, colour of bloom and depressed pubescence on body above and, to a certain extent, in the infuscation and spots on the wings. The Namaqualand specimens appear to be slightly darker, with the bristles and hairs on body above apparently more golden yellowish in macroscopic effects, with the depressed pubescence more distinctly golden and with the wings.
