beard entirely yellow

hairs underneath the proboscis yellow in male; in female, on basal portion yellow, on more distal portion (but still at base of proboscis), black

palpal hairs hairs on first segment yellow, hairs on second segment black

mesonotum in male, covered, except for notopleural areas, with long yellow hairs, which nowhere completely obscure the blue black ground color; anterior to the transverse suture about equal numbers of these hairs are either erect or recumbent; posterior to the suture they are all erect and somewhat longer; on the suture itself they are sparser, and from the effect of the cuticle showing through more strongly, give the impression of an indistinct, transverse black band; laterally this band is contiguous with black hairs on the notopleurae; posterior calli likewise with yellow hairs; as is usual these are longer than those on the anterior mesonotum; female similar, except that black hairs may occasionally be present in small numbers on the intra-alar areas and are invariably present in larger numbers on the extreme lateral margins of the posterior calli

tuft of hairs in front of wings black

tuft of hairs in front of haltere mostly yellow

scutellar hairs on disk, sparse, black, medium length and slanted at about a 45 degree angle backwards; on margin long, erect, with a preponderance of yellow over black bristles

ground color of legs from a distance the ground color appears to be black, but when viewed with a dissecting microscope, from an angle the surface appears to be blue black, and when viewed directly, that is from right angles, with artificial light, it appears to be very dark reddish brown; the surface is also highly reflective and where yellow hairs are present on the tibiae, reflects these as reddish brown

fore- and mid-tibiae black haired

hind tibiae black haired

hind femora weak line of scattered yellow hairs stretching from near base to about three fourths way to apex; "knee" or apex entirely black haired
