Thorax (Fig. 5 a): yellow-gold when viewed dorsally with four longitudinal black vittae, appearing fused throughout their length; appearing as two indistinct blotches covering 2 / 3 rds of thorax postsuturally; three postsutural dorsocentral bristles; scutellum bearing yellowish pruinosity over 1 / 2 its total area; 3 pairs of scutellar marginal bristles; subapical scutellars widely divergent, lateral scutellars half the length of suabpicals, with these arising almost adjacent to subapical scutellars; legs black. Wings: dark smoky grayish in color, with one bristle arising at the joint between R 1 and R 2 + 3; well developped costal spine. Abdomen (Figs 1 d, 5 a, c): ST 1 + 2 dark velvety black, with slight yellow extending from anterior edge of following tergite, T 3, T 4, and T 5, with bright, yellow bands covering approximately 1 / 3 rd of tergal surface arising at the margins of between the abdominal tergites, these bands wrapping around sides of abdomen but not the underside; bright yellow bands straddling the margin between tergites ST 1 + 2, T 3, T 4 and over 50 % of T 5; tergal bands possessing a sharp mid-dorsal peak extending almost to margin of adjacent tergite, in both T 3 and T 4, but not reaching margin. Female (Fig. 5 d, e, f), 10 mm. Head (Fig. 5 e): frontal vitta dark black, parallel sided apically equal to twice the width of the ocellar triangle, prarafrontal 1.5 times as wide as frontal vitta; frontal bristles arise no lower than level of first antennal segment; proclinate orbital bristles present; antennae black; frontoorbital plate entirely gold; parafacial silvery to slightly gold tinged; palpi orange, slightly haired along upper surface forming a hirsute oval along the upper surface of the palps; eyes bearing very short sparse hairs; gena 1 / 5 height of head. Thorax (Fig. 5 d): yellow when viewed dorsally with four longitudinal black vittae, these becoming fused postsuturally, appearing as two indistinct blotches covering just over 1 / 2 of thorax postsuturally; three postsutural dorsocentral bristles; scutellum bearing yellowish pruinosity over its entirety (occupying 1 / 2 or more of total area); 3 pairs of scutellar marginal bristles; subapical scutellars widely divergent, lateral scutellars, almost 2 / 3 rds the length of the subapicals, these closer to apex, than to basal scutellars; legs black with silvery sheen. Wings: pale smoky grayish in color, with one bristle arising at the joint between R 1 and R 2 + 3. Abdomen (Figs 2 c, 5 d, f): pointed downward apically so as to appear strongly curved; ST 1 + 2, dark velvety black with very slight infiltration of dull, grayish or bright yellow bands from next segment along posterior margin, T 3, T 4, and T 5 with dull, grayish or bright yellow bands covering at up to 1 / 2 of tergal surface; bands peaked dorsocentrally creating an apparent dorsocentral stripe extending the length of the abdomen; abdominal bands wrapping around to the underside; bright yellow bands straddling the margin between tergites ST 1 + 2 and T 3 with yellow extending up to but not above median marginal bristles on ST 1 + 2, and the anterior margin of T 4; T 3 and T 4 possessing 1 pair of medial discal bristles, insertion point of abdominal bristles punctuated by a black outline appearing as black spots; when viewed dorsally abdomen appearing to have 4 black triangles surrounded by yellow, with 4 black dots between them.	en	Fleming, AJ, Wood, D.

Head (Fig. 4 e): frontal vitta dark tawny, parallel sided apically equal to twice the width of the ocellar triangle, parafrontal 1.5 times as wide as frontal vitta; frontal bristles arise no lower than level of first antennal segment; proclinate orbital bristles present; antennae light black with orange present at base of first flagellomere; frontoorbital plate entirely gold; parafacial narrow, silvery to slightly gold tinged; palpi light gray at base, with orange tips, slightly haired along upper surface; gena 1 / 10 height of head. Thorax (Fig. 3 d): yellow when viewed dorsally with four longitudinal black vittae, these becoming remaining separate postsuturally, appearing as four distinct lines covering just over 1 / 2 of thorax postsuturally; three postsutural dorsocentral bristles; scutellum bearing white or yellowish pruinosity over half of its area; scutellar bristles similar to males. Wings: pale smoky grayish in color, with one bristle arising at the joint between R 1 and R 2 + 3. Abdomen (Figs 2 a, 4 d): pointed downward apically so as to appear strongly curved; abdominal tergites dark velvety black, with dull, grayish bands covering at least 1 / 2 of tergal surface; bands flat and with no distinctive mid-dorsal peaks (Fig. 2 a); abdominal bands wrapping around to the underside; bright yellow bands straddling the margin between tergites ST 1 + 2, and T 3 with yellow-gray color extending up to and beyond insertion point of median marginal bristles on ST 1 + 2; T 3 and T 4 possessing 1 pair of medial discal bristles, insertion point of abdominal bristles punctuated by a black outline appearing as black spots.	en	Fleming, AJ, Wood, D.
