Diagnosis.

Saropogon coquillettii is similar to S. semiustus , S. hyalinus , and S. luteus , but can be separated from them because it has four scutellar bristles instead of two. It has nearly hyaline wings with only a tinge of color apically and is more slender than Saropogon combustus and S. dispar . Body and wing length 14-16 mm. Flight time May - October.
