Notes from Discover Life key
Flight Season - Month = April
Locality where specimen was collected in Canada = British Columbia
Body length, in mm = 10
Head
- malar area, minimum length = Extremely short, no wider than rim of compound eye
- clypeus, surface texture between pits = SHINY throughout
- labral process, length = Moderate, between one-third and one-half length of labrum
- facial fovea, color of hair = All pale, white to yellow
- facial fovea, length = Long, reaching to below level of lower margin of antennal socket, sometimes to level of top margin of clypeus
- facial quadrangle - Note, the diagram is misleading the measurement is from the bottom of the middle ocellus = QUADRATE, about as broad as long
- labral process, margin = Bidentate
- vertex height, distance from lateral ocelli to rear margin of head = About 1 ocellar diameter
Thorax
- pronotum, ridge extending down from humeral angle (?Absent, no trace of ridge present)
- Pronotum, Humeral Angle (? ABSENT, rear margin of pronotum smoothly rounded)
- propodeal triangle, percentage of LENGTH coarsely sculptured = 5 - 50 percent
- propodeal corbicula, form = Incomplete, without anterior fringe of hairs, internal hairs usually present
- scutum, form of hair = Short medially, half as long as hairs on mesepisternum, but not mat-like
- scutum, texture = Dulled throughout, tessellate
- scutum, pitting between parapsidal lines, except midline area = Separated by 1-3 pit widths
Wings
- forewing, number of submarginal cells = 3
- forewing, vein m-cu meets second submarginal cell = At middle of cell
Abdomen
- Tergum 2, Surface texture in middle of tergum = GRANULAR or with fine lines, usually dull but may still be somewhat shiny
- Tergum 2, Pale apical hair bands = Narrowly interrupted medially, no more than half of apical margin bare
- Tergum 2, pitting spacing on longitudinal center of segment - - Note, ignore pitting patterns along the rim and the very base of the segment = Absent or indistinct and difficult to see even at high magnification
- pygidial plate, internal triangle or ridge = Present, with median raised or textured triangle or longitudinal ridge
- colour of integument = All DARK, black to reddish-brown, without distinct red or orange coloration or metallic reflections
Legs
- rear legs, tibial scopal hair formation = Hairs simple and unbranched IN CENTER of outside face of tibia, but hairs along outer edges of tibia can be branched or unbranched
