Legs stout, uniformly black, densely haired black on the femora. Chaetotaxy: T1 with 5 d, 1 p. F2 with 3 a; T2 with 1 long v, 3 ad, 2 pd. Cx3 bare.T3 with 3 av, 4-5 ad, 2 pd. Fore tarsi with tarsomeres normal. Claws dark, those and pulvilli short on all legs.
Wings hyaline. Subcostal sclerite with several thin, black setae. Vein R1 bare. Vein R4+5 basally with 13 setae dorsally and 6 ventrally, dorsally extending to 0.4 times the distance to crossvein r-m, ventrally no further than a sixth. Crossvein r-m strongly oblique, with anterior end towards wing base. M ending at wing margin about 0.75 times length of crossvein r-m away from vein R4+5, bend angle minutely less than that of a right angle, with a very minute spur vein as a continuation, crossvein dm-cu strongly sinuate, joining M about 0.75 times distance from crossvein r-m to bend, wing margin farther from bend of M than the bend of M is from crossvein dm-cu, vein CuA1 with distal section about 0.2 times the length of the preceding section. Vein A1 not reaching wing margin. Costal spine undifferentiated. Tegula and basicosta black. Upper and lower calypters small, slightly obscured, pale brown pruinose, border dark brown, with marginal fringe of brown hairs. Upper calypter with black setulae-like hairs on dorsal surface. Lower calypter without these hairs.
Abdomen about as wide as thorax, entirely shining dark green and blue, covered in appressed black setulae except in tergite 5 where black setulae may be erect. Middorsal depression on syntergite 1+2 extending two thirds of distance to hind margin of segment, without any discal or marginal setae. Tergite 3 without discal setae, either with 1 very weak pair of median marginal setae or without any marginal setae. Tergite 4 without discal setae, with 14-15 marginal setae. Tergite 5 covered in irregularly arranged discal and marginal vestiture, long and erect. Sternites 1-5 exposed, not covered by tergites, dark grayish black in color.

Very excited to acquire a more temperate species of fly that a much wider demographic may encounter, as opposed to some obscure Florida restricted fly. This species appears to be very desiccation resistant as an adult.
Morphological terminology is annoying, the presutural area of the thorax is convoluted among taxonomic works. The posthumeral system is much more intuitive than the "presutural anterior intra-alar" system that McAlpine and the Canada JAI Pollenia key uses (and O'Hara agrees). This is because the presutural setae are not neatly organized into rows of setar as well as the postsutural region. It is better to refer to the setae immediately around the postpronota/humeri using a different system than the intraalar/supraalar system. They are used here as a formula "Posthumeral [# of anterior posthumeral]+[# of posterior]" where "anterior posthumeral" are synonymous with inner posthumeral and anterior intra alar. "Posterior posthumeral" are synonymous with outer posthumeral and anterior supra alar.
