Haltères pale brown, subapically darker brown; tip yellow. Legs short and stout, thickly covered with appressed hairs ; coxae short, cylin- drical, in the fore leg about as long as the trochanter ; in the middle leg shorter than the prominent trochanter ; in the hind leg prominent, much exceeding the shorter and narrower trochanter. Femora rather short, slender proximally, soon thickening so as to become almost clavate distaily ; the fore femora have stout, long hairs, which are scattered irregularly amongst the appressed hairs, becoming very numerous near the apical portion of the lower surface of the segment. Tibiœ slender through- out, tibiae and metatarsi with a few prominent hairs regularly disposed ; the other tarsal segments with a single hair at the tip. The fore femora are as long as the succeeding segments combined ; the hind legs are longer than the others. Fore legs lacking (in the holotype) ; middle leg, coxte and trochanter light yellow ; femora yellow, with a medial and subapical brown band ; tibise yellow, with a dark band before the middle and at the tip ; tarsi yellow-tipped with dark brown ; fifth segment and claws dark brown. Hind legs, coxae, trochanters and femora as in the fore leg ; tibi?e. and tarsi yellow, excepting the last tarsal segment, which is darker. Abdomen with numerous scattered hairs, yellow ; the apical margins of the segments brown. Wings with a faint yellow tinge ; costal border and radial veins •yellow; remaining veins darker ; a dark suffusion around cross-vein r-;;/, at the union of Mg with M1+2 ^'^^ along the basal deflection of Cu^ Venation (see fig. 2) : Sg short
