Abdomen green or somewhat aeneous, almost not pruinose, clothed with short, yellow hairs, very slightly longer at the sides of the first segment. Venter somewhat greenish. Hypopygium narrow, but somewhat long, black or slightly metallic; ventral lobes and outer lamellae of about the same length, brownish. Legs with the coxae black or blackish, femora black, the apex, tibiae and the four first tarsal joints yellow, the very apex of the tibiae and the last tarsal joint brown or blackish; the apex of the tarsal joints may also be dark, and the tarsi and tibiae are sometimes more dark; hind metatarsus a little more than half as long as the second joint, without excision. The legs have short, chiefly pale hairs; the hairs on the anterior coxae and the bristle on the hind coxae. Fig. KX). Wing of M. pallipes c? (after a dried specimen, the wing not quite level, and hence the postical cross-vein not seen in full length). yellowish or the latter darker; the hairs below the femora, especially the posterior femora, somewhat bristly, yellow; middle tibiae with one or a pair of bristles near the base. Wings slightly yellowish tinged; veins brown, last part of the discal vein somewhat curved, strongly converging towards the cubital vein; the last part of the postical vein twice as long as the cross-vein or even more. Squamulae yellow, sometimes a little darker at the margin, with a yellow fringe. Halteres yellow. Female. Quite similar to the male. Length 2—2,2 mm. This species shows some resemblance to apicalis, but it may be known by the lighter, paler haired ab
