Fore wing with postmarginal vein 12-14 times as long as the stigmal vein ; basal vein pilose throughout, basal cell usually with a few scattered hairs in its distal part. Mesoscutum and scutellum relatively shiny, with very fine and delicate reticulation. Anterior margin of clypeus shallowly emarginate medially. Antennal pedicellus (and scape) mainly to wholly testaceous ; tibiae testaceous, femora less strongly infuscate than in the following species flavius (Walker) (p. Antenna with flagellum distinctly stouter than the pedicellus ; distal segments of funicle slightly to quite obviously transverse ; 2 or 3 anelli present. Fore wing with postmarginal vein usually approximately as long as the stigmal vein, rarely very slightly longer ; basal vein usually bare, occasionally sparsely pilose, basal cell bare. Mesoscutum and scutellum relatively duller, with stronger reticulation. Antennal pedicellus often infuscate ; tibiae sometimes more or less so ; femora usually mainly dark ......... 800).
