Gena relatively broad, at level of proboscis wider than depth of postpedicel, broadening out slightly but noticeably on to frons, entirely yellow in ground colour with thin coating of silky white dust, a slightly shinier border to the oral opening below. Frons in dorsal view approximately equilateral but concave along eye margin, lacking erect hairs. Eyes confluent for a length about equal to the long axis of ocellar tubercle, about 10 facets. Ocellar tubercle dark blackish, thinly grey dusted, all ocelli in direct contact with the eyes; a narrow, acute yellow triangle in front of front ocelli. Very short, pale yellow proclinate hairs on ocellar tubercle no longer than diameter of an ocellus. Eye facets in the upper three fifths enlarged, at least twice the size of those in lower part, rather sharply demarcated. Occiput, darker yellow than frons, variably dark in ground colour around neck, thinly whitish dusted and covered with white hairs longer than length of scape and pedicel combined. Antennae with scape and pedicel yellow, a little darker than frons, postpedicel variably brownish to brown-yellow a little darker than pedicel, significantly longer than scape and pedicel together. The tip of this segment is remarkably variable, simply pointed or with a double point, the lower one sometimes spine-like; erect pale hairs very short and inconspicuous along dorsum of segments. Palps small and slender, not swollen apically, pale yellow with short yellowish hairs. Proboscis relatively short, shorter than tibia and basitarsus combined, yellow, labrum conspicuously swollen basally equal to twice width of pedicel, labium brownish often with labella darker blackish-brown, the basoventral membrane yellow.</paragraph>

Yellow in ground colour, mesonotum with three variable black vittae, sometimes clearly separated by yellow dorsocentral lines, the paramedian vittae ending before reaching the scutellum, often these black vittae coalescing, reaching the scutellum and more or less obscured by whitish dust. On each side of the thorax are dust-free, velvety, roundish to elongate-oval black spots on the thoracic suture. Just behind the suture and above the wing base is an often obscure, roundish dark spot, occasionally coalescing with the dark antehumeral vittae. In more densely dusted individuals, three narrow, darker vittae can be apparent superimposed on the median black ground-colour vittae. Hairs of mesonotum very pale yellow, absent on paramedian vittae, otherwise evenly distributed, relatively short and uniform in length, longest about half the length of scutellum, anteriorly reclinate, in hind third proclinate. Scutellum yellow, very pale yellow hairs a little longer than on mesonotum. Pleura yellow in ground colour, katepisternum black ventrally, meron black postero-ventrally, anepisternum often with a slightly darker, brownish antero-ventral corner, all thinly white dusted. Pronotum and anepisternum with white hairs like those on notopleuron.</paragraph>

Mesonotal vittae red-brown, only median one readily visible, antehumeral vittae very vague and pleura hardly darkened at all. The spots on the thoracic sutures reddish brown. The genitalia do not differ in any meaningful way from the ‘large pale yellow form’ described above and the eighth sternite is also closely similar.

Like the ‘large pale yellow form’, these specimens might be merely teneral specimens. However, the fact that all four are identical in colour and the form of the proboscis suggests that these specimens could be an undescribed species. Certainly, of the three forms described in this section, the ‘small pale yellow form’ is by far the most distinct. Given the apparent variability of
