Postpedicel entirely pale; style with two basal segments. Proboscis strikingly elongate, more than twice body length. Postalar callus smooth over entire surface. Wing with transparent or hyaline markings, such areas never an opaque creamy white. Second abdominal tergite almost entirely silvery pruinescent across its width. Abdominal dorsum with posterolateral sections of T3 and T4 without obvious dark pile. Epandrium not divided into two obvious lobes dorsally and with small apico-medial notch only; gonostylus broadly rounded apically.

): colouring mostly yellow to yellow-brown with scape and pedicel notably yellow or yellow-brown. Postpedicel entirely yellow to yellow-orange. Male with anterior ocellus and posterior ocellus separated by deep transverse groove; anterior ocellus closer to posterior ocellus than posterior ocelli are to each other, therefore delimiting a compressed triangle. Frons with elongate yellow or cream pile, this absent medially, except sometimes typically recumbent anteriorly. Style of flagellum with two short basal segments, these subequal in length but second segment may be slightly longer than first segment; second segment may be very difficult to discern and may be partially fused with adjacent segments. Proboscis elongate, length 2.53.0 x body length.

Paired median silver pruinescent vittae extend from anterior margin to half to two-thirds distance to scuto-scutellar suture (posterior section a pale to dark orange). Scutellum silver pruinescent anterolaterally and along posterior margin just posterior to disc. Pile on scutum yellow but sometimes whitish on posterior half, short but profuse; largely sparse to absent on posterior half (although present here on postalar callus and especially disc of scutellum and along posterior midline area). Postalar callus lacking a noticeable acute cuticular protrusion near middle.

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