Palpus yellow; two genal setae. Thorax. Scutum and scutellum dark brown, pleural regions brown; anepisternum bare. Legs yellowishbrown. Foretibia with two dorsal setae and anterodorsal row of strong setulae. Foremetatarsus with anteroapical setulose process, anterior excavation, and seta at base of anteroapical process (Fig. 175). Hind femur not swollen (height/length ratio, 0.31), with posteroventral group of tiny blunt setulae with semicircular distribution, tapering toward ventral margin—dorsal setulae thicker (Figs. 294). Hind tibia with one dorsal seta. Wing (Fig. 227). Costa swollen, 0.37 of the wing length; M1 concave, curved posteriorly at apex; M2 slightly concave, antero-posterior distance between M2 and CuA1 at CuA1 apex about the same distance between M1 and M2 at the same level; CuA1 sinuous. Halter white. Abdomen. Tergites dark brown, with lighter posterior band. Hypopygium brown (Figs. 105– 108). Epandrium covered with microtrichia mostly dorsally; dorsal suture of epandrium absent, left suture present. Left epandrial process with a ventral and a dorsal medially directed lobe. Two left subepandrial processes: a setulose distal process connected to ventral lobe of epandrium (Figs. 106 and 108, black arrow) and a basal elevation with four long setae (Figs. 106 and 108, white arrow). Hypoproct with two setae. Hypandrium without projections.

Geographical distribution. Brazil, Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro States.
