Description, holotype male (left mid leg missing): Body length 2.3 mm. General color pale brown, femora and tibiae similarly pigmented. Eye height 2.5× genal height. Mid tibia with an anterodorsal seta at basal quarter and an anterodorsal, dorsal and posterodorsal setae at distal 3/4 (proximal anterodorsal area obscured on unique type). Wing veins yellowish brown, third costal sector 0.8× second costal sector.
Abdomen: Sternite 5 dominated by a prominent trifid posteromedial area made up of a dark, broadly diamondshaped central piece flanked by very broad processes divided into inner and outer surfaces; inner surface densely microtrichose distally and basally with an inward pointed lobe anteroventrally bumpy and apically with a large, stout seta; length anterior to trifid posteromedial area 0.3× length of S4. Epandrium with two very large lateroventral setae. Cercus convex and rounded, with one long and several shorter setae. Subepandrial sclerite broad and well sclerotized. Surstylus comprising a single strongly curved lobe with three short, very stout preapical anterior setae. Basiphallus broadly cylindrical; distiphallus very short and quadrate, ventrally curved, forked, and pointy, dorsally perpendicularly bent then bilobed; apex with a finely spiculate membranous ventral surface. Postgonite stout, dark, sinuate, more or less parallel sided, bilobed apically.
Etymology: The specific name refers to the strongly curved surstylus.
