: Head black but face extensively brown and projecting snoutlike. Eyes separated by width of ocellar triangle and twice the width of a lateral ocellus at vertex. Occiput much inflated. Frons with stiff bristles above and at sides only in lower half, these bristles black above and paler brown below. Frons and face with dense long stiff white hair. Occiput and underside of head with decumbent white scalelike hairs. Antennae brown, hairs white, ratio 4:1:8, flagellum swollen in basal third, bulging more on underside, tapering to a narrow linear apical third.

specimen known, the identity of the species must be determined from it rather than Bezzi’s manuscript description of the female from Assab and some doubt remain as to whether the two were indeed conspecific. The description of the female differs from the above in additional characters not visible on the male as follows: head and thorax with very many bristles, mostly yellow but blackened on posterior margins of abdominal terga; legs with white scales; base of wing pale yellow, otherwise greyish hyaline; frons at vertex somewhat wider than an eye; black hairs on ocellar tubercle otherwise hair on head yellowish or white and no strong setae; antennal flagellum black; thorax mainly with yellowish hair and bristles, greyish short hairs on dorsum; margin of squama yellowish; abdomen all black with greyish hair and blackish bristles on posterior margins of terga; sterna black with white vestiture; legs with two spines beneath midfemora and 6–7 beneath hind.
