Diagnosis.
This species most closely resembles Saropogon hyalinus and S. albifrons but can be easily separated by its smaller size and dense grayish pubescence on the face, thorax, scutellum, and coxae. Abdomen mostly polished with sides of T1 and a spot on the posterior corner of T2-5, with gray pubescence (sometimes absent in males). Legs in male black, except red at tips of femora; legs in female are reddish. Antennae are yellowish brown. Wings hyaline. Body length 8-10 mm; wing length 7-8 mm. Flight time April - June.
