Antenna reddish yellow, with postpedicel brownish on apical 2/3 (Fig. 10B, D); postpedicel slightly longer than wide, slightly pointed at apex. Legs: mostly yellow, except lateral surface of coxa II, It 5 and tarsus II and III from apex of tarsomere 1 onwards brownish (Fig. 10A, B). Tarsus I with ventral surface from apical 2/3 of It 1 covered by pile of whitish setae. Tarsus II and III unmodified. Wing gently brownish, M 1 gradually angled towards R 4 +5 (Fig. 10A). Hypopygium slightly shorter than abdomen (Fig. 10A); cercus yellow, branched, ventral branch short, about 1/5 of length of epandrium, narrowing at apex (Fig. 10E).

Examined type material. HOLOTYPE ♁ (based on photographs) (Fig. 10) labelled as: “Barro Colo Isld. [ca 9°09′26.7″N 79°50′37.2″W] | Canal Zone | xii-26-1928 ”; “Collector | C. H. Curran ”; “ Hercostomus | panamensis [handwritten] | Holotype Van Duzee” (AMNH).

Remarks. Van Duzee (1931) did not provide any comments on his decision about the generic placement of this species, but it is clearly part of the latipes -group, sharing with the other species the characters listed above in the diagnosis.
