Description:

Head: Palp blackish-brown or brown. Black hairs on parafacialia and/or gena always present and often quite long, in most specimens equalling or exceeding length of postpedicel. Thorax: Posterior margin of mesoscutum orange-brown, with fine grey dusting which often extends around the whole of the posterior margin. Katepisternum orange-brown. Underside of scutellum mostly orange-brown, like the upper side. Hairs of mesoscutum long, those at the anterior margin at least half as long as those at the posterior margin. Femora and tibiae usually with darker brownish markings. Wing veins usually weakly margined brownish, sometimes unmargined. Wing length 5.4–8.7mm. Abdomen: Typically blood-red, occasionally orange-brown. Tergite 1 orange-brown at side-margins, the disc with darker coloration which usually extends as far as the posterior margin. Tergite 2 reddish orange-brown, rest of tergites darker reddish-brown. Tergites 3–4 usually only dusted on sides at the posterior margin, especially in ♂♂. In ΨΨ there is usually more extensive dusting along the posterior margin, although this is mainly confined to the depressed posterior marginal area which is bounded-off from the rest of the tergite by an impressed line or crease. Tergite 5 may rarely be dusted on whole length submedially, but is more usually undusted medially on whole length. In ΨΨ there is usually dusting on the depressed posterior margin of tergite 5. Hairs on tergite 6 longer than diameter of hind tibia, occasionally only about as long. In ♂♂ these hairs often as long or longer than hind metatarsus. Genitalia: ♂♂ — Epandrium in side view as shown in Fig. 7, only very slightly expanded ventrally to form a weak vesicle which bears long microtrichia. Angle between anterior margin and underside of epandrium is about rightangled. Posterior surstylus fairly pointed triangular, usually somewhat longer than width at base. Epandrial plate covered with microtrichia. ΨΨ —Sternite 7 as shown in Fig. 14, rather long and somewhat attenuated towards base. Lateral tooth of apical syntergosternite relatively short, about 1.5–1.75 times as long as its width at base ( Fig. 21).
