. Fig. 92. Wing of A. hortensis ^. below on each side, and at the apical corners are short hairs; below there is a large, broadly rounded dusky, ventral plate; anal tube yellow, somewhat large, especially high.

Wings more or less yellowish, veins pale brown or brownish yellow; the wings are somewhat long and characteristic in shape, the axillary angle is rectangular (but the angle itself rounded), the hind margin is straight and the front and hind margins of the wing are parallel; costa reaching to the middle, 1 not double 2 and about equal to 2 + 3; costal ciha long, but somewhat moderately so; fourth vein a little curved in the basal part, for the rest very slightly curved. Halteres black, but pale on the lower side. Female. Similar; antennæ slightly smaller; front tarsi a little less thickened, and with also the four last joints a little dilated.
