Maxillary palpus with 3 segments, 1 st segment as long as 3 rd segment, 2 nd segment shortest; 1 st segment with 4–5 setae, with a moderate dorsal pit with sensilla; surface of antennal flagellomeres smooth, body of 4 th antennal flagellomere 2.10–2.30x as long as wide, the longest setae longer than the width of the flagellomere, neck shorter than wide. Thorax. Brown; setae pale. Anterior pronotum with 5–8 setae. Proepisternum with 8–9 setae. Scutellum with 2 moderately long and some short and fine setae. Wing. Fumose. Length 1.4 mm. Width/length 0.40. Anal lobe small. Veins distinct, except for stM. c/w 0.70–0.75. R1/R 0.45. stM as long as fork of M. bM longer than r-m, stCuA shortest. bM and r-m non-setose. Halter yellow. Legs. Brown, coxae yellow; setae pale. Fore tibial organ forming moderate patch of many setae in demarcated depression. Fore tibial spur shorter than tibial width. Abdomen. Pale brown; setae pale and moderately long. Hypopygium ( Fig. 5B ). Brown, like abdomen. Intergonocoxal area ( Fig. 14C ) moderately long, with a triangular setose lobe. Gonocoxa longer than gonostylus, roundish laterally, with dense and short setosity. Gonostylus ( Fig. 6B ) widest subbasally, strongly narrowed towards apex, strongly impressed dorsally, densely setose apically, with a rather short and strong apical tooth; with 4 medial megasetae at apical fourth, 2 basalmost ones close to each other, megasetae slender, nearly straight; with well-differentiated long whip-lash seta near the middle of the gonostylus. Tegmen ( Fig. 13D ) surrounded by hyaline membrane laterally (and ventrally?); shorter than wide wide, membraneous apically, sclerotized laterally, with indistinct sclerotizations dorsomedially, with a large area of aedeagal teeth. Aedeagal apodeme moderately long.
