Scutellum darkish brown, but not so dark as the mesonotum, paler in the middle than at the sides, bearing two admedian and two lateral bristles and a few (six) short hairs. Post- scutellum dark brown. Wings grey, with large white patches; the arrangement of the patches and the venation as shown in fig. 9. Lower ramus of fourth vein obsolete at the proximal end. The surface of the wing is covered by microtrichia, but without larger decumbent hairs. Halteres pale, with white knobs. Legs brown, femora and tibiae more or less infuscated. Fore and middle.
