Palpus and proboscis dark, latter with yellowish tip. Antenna brown, segment 3 blunt, arista half again as long as face.

Legs brownish with anterior trochanters rather pale; setae mostly dark. Forecoxa with a few dark hairs anteriorly; femora without distinctive ventral setae; hind tibia with 2 or 3 small dorsals. Foretarsus (Figure 203) with segments 1 and 2 slightly thicker than others, 3 with small but distinct ventral seta, lengths of segments from base as 8-4-4-4-6; middle tarsus as 8-7-5-4-5; hind tarsus as 10-10-8-6-6.
