My recollection is most of its tropical relatives have dark fore coxae. The last key to tropical species is by Parent in the 1930s. I do not have it.

They have clear wings, usually dark femora (male only), and the shape of M2 is different. A more easily accessible reference for members of the caudatus group with hairs on the face is Curran 1942:58 (as Laxina): http://digitallib...e/2246/381.
