Head orange, postcranium with some black around foramen, ocellar triangle may be brown to blackish, face may have brown along ventral margin, clypeus brown, prementum brown with an orange ventromedial spot, maxillary palp yellow. Ocellar bristles about 1 ocellus width anterior to median ocellus. Subvibrissal and anterior genal bristle about 0.3X length of vibrissa. Gena about 0.5X eye height.

Thorax black, margins of sclerites and postalar callus may be reddish. Mostly covered with microtomentum, anepisternum with a small ventral shiny patch, katepisternum with a shiny spot posterior to fore coxa. Halter white, some brown below knob.

Legs black, trochanters, joints, and tarsi yellow, hind tarsus blackish dorsally. Mid tibia with anterodorsal row, 1 anteroventral, 1 posteroventral, and 4 apical bristles. Hind tibia with 2 ventroapical bristles.

Wing pale brown, veins R 4+5 and M outlined with brown to about two-thirds length of wing. Crossveins r-m and dm-cu with white spots, vein R 4+5 with 1 pale spot basal and 2 distal to crossvein r-m, vein M with 1 pale spot between r-m and dm-cu.

Abdomen with tergites and sternites heavily sclerotized, black, covered with microtomentum. Tergites 2–5 with 2 pairs of enlarged bristles laterally along posterior margin.

Male postabdomen: Sternite 5 simple, rectangular ( Fig. 168 View FIGURES 166–172 ). Surstylus subrectangular ( Fig. 167 View FIGURES 166–172 ). Pregonite not apparent. Postgonite thin, straplike, notched apically. Basiphallus short, without separate epiphallus, short preepiphallus.

Epiproct wider than long, posterior margin sinuous, anterior margin weakly pointed, anteromedial area covered with microtomentum, without setae. Sternite 8 with a pair of round sclerites, covered with microtomentum except basal third. Hypoproct with a pair of small, irregular, weakly sclerotized patches and an unsclerotized diamond-shaped area of microtomentum with 2 setae. Spermathecae oval, about 1.25x longer than wide, heavily sclerotized, paired spermathecae fused.
