. Postpedicel mostly dark; style with two basal segments. Proboscis strikingly elongate, typically more than twice body length. Postalar callus smooth over entire surface. Wing with clear-cut transparent or hyaline markings, such areas never an opaque creamy white. Second abdominal tergite almost entirely silvery pruinescent across its width. Posterolateral sections of T3 and T4 typically with relatively dense fringe of dark pile. Epandrium prominently divided into two obvious lobes dorsally and with very broad and extensive medial notch; gonostylus narrowed apically and with sharply pointed apex.

): colouring mostly yellow to dark brown to black, with scape and pedicel notably yellow-brown or medium brown. Postpedicel mostly darker (brown to black), but sometimes dark orange or yellow basally. Male with anterior ocellus and posterior ocelli separated by deep transverse groove; anterior ocellus closer to posterior ocelli than posterior ocelli are to each other, therefore delimiting a compressed triangle. Frons with elongate yellow pile, this absent medially. Style of flagellum with two short basal segments, these subequal in length or second segment ranging up to 2.0 x length of first segment; second segment may be difficult to discern. Proboscis elongate, length 2.00–2.75 x body length.

Paired median silver pruinescent vittae extend from anterior margin to two-thirds distance to scuto-scutellar suture in female (remaining posterior section a pale to dark orange or yellow-brown), but may extend entire distance in male; in male sometimes with transversely positioned dark brown pruinescence over median pruinescent vittae at two-thirds distance between anterior margin and scuto-scutellar suture. Scutellum variably silver pruinescent around much of margin or posteriorly only. Pile on scutum yellow but some black hairs on posterior half, short but profuse; largely sparse to absent on posterior half (although present here on postalar calli and disc of scutellum and along posterior midline area).

): somewhat compact, width broader than maximum width of thorax, although sometimes broader in female. Ground colour very varied, ranging from dark brown to black to dark orange. T1 entirely dark and silver pruinescence completely lacking or barely visible; pile dense and short, mostly white or yellow with some black hairs. T2 typically densely silver pruinescent across entire width (except sometimes posteromedially, but this may be membrane); pile largely inconspicuous, but white pile sometimes evident laterally. T3 largely dark brown to black to orange, but with silver pruinescence/markings on anterior half as paired elongate-oval medial areas (transversely directed), these areas with dark colour between and/or around them and this sometimes along anterior margin; silver pruinescence sometimes occurring laterally and along posterior margin; pile moderately short and sparse over anterior one-third to four-fifths (especially medially), whitish to pale yellow but black hairs evident on posterior half, pile elongate along anterior margin and sometimes dense posterolaterally (black pile), longest anteriorly, this length about half length of T3 lateral margins. T4 similarly coloured and patterned; silver pruinescence sometimes evident laterally and along posterior margin; pile typically short and sparse and mostly black, more profuse posterolaterally, this dark brown to black, longest hairs one-third to half length of T4 lateral margin. T5 medium to dark brown to orange, but with darker brown colouring anteromedially, and silver pruinescent markings similar to those on T4; pile usually dark, elongate and restricted to lateral margins. T6 medium brown to orange and silver pruinescent, darker medially; pile elongate along lateral margins. Sternites usually mostly yellow-brown to dark brown to black (partly yellow), but often darker in female; pile moderately elongate and white on S3 and S4.

): epandrium very well developed in dorsal view, maximum width somewhat broader than length, strikingly divided into two major lobes and with broad and very conspicuous medial notch, apicolateral extremities very broadly rounded in lateral view. Gonostylus with vestiture over medial surface, notably slender in appearance, apical region sharply pointed apically and inwardly curved. Inner gonocoxal process not sharply pointed apically, here rather bluntly tapered, apical region with obvious marginal teeth, relatively straight and not arched at mid-length. Phallus apex about coincident with or falling short of gonostylus apices in ventral view, arrow-like apically with obvious dentate subapical margins.

However, the male terminalia from at least three different localities have been dissected and there is no significant morphological variation. These issues considered, a study of the species over its entire range using molecular markers could potentially reveal interesting results.
