Hypopygium of o* (text-fig. 266) entirely different from that of ovamboana and also from that of dimidiata, with the aedeagal process much broadened and hollowed out apically, scoop-shaped; lateral struts relatively small and basal strut shaped as shown in figure.

In its dimidiately infuscated wings this species resembles tuckeri, ovamboana and especially masienensis. It is however characterized as follows: Body mainly black; hinder half of scutellum, sides of tergites 2-4 in £, a spot on sides of tergite 2 in $ reddish; venter even in £ mostly black, not with broad reddish hind margins as in masienensis•; legs dark blackish brown, the tibiae paler. Vestiture with the scaling on greater part of frons and face in q* very dense, brilliantly silvery white, and in $ with more gleaming scales than in $ of masienensis; hairs in collar above, on entire pleurae and venter straw- coloured or whitish, those on sides of tergite 2 and 3 also white; scaling on sides of abdomen on all tergites white, relatively fewer black ones discally above than in masienensis; that on venter white.
