Diagnosis. This species has a distinct median gap between medioventral setae of segment 6, and a strongly downturned ventral apex of the oviscape; dorsally the oviscape appears truncate.
Description. Body length 1.1–1.5mm. Frons light brown, 0.48–0.53 head width. Flagellomere 1 round, light brown. Pleuron whitish yellow. Costa 0.53–0.59 wing length. Halter light brown. Abdominal tergites light brown, normal sized. Tergite 6 yellowish-brown, about as broad as tergite 5, entire, apical margin straight, with small medial lateral setae and two pairs of larger posterior setae. Venter of abdomen yellowish brown, dark grey near tergites, venter of segments 3–5 with scattered thin setae, longer on segment 5, venter of intersegment 6–7 membranous, setae absent. Venter of segment 6 lacking sclerite, with smaller posterior setae and row of four large setae in lateral pairs separated by medial gap. Oviscape elongate oval, anterior process short and narrow, with one dorsolateral and one ventrolateral setae. Dorsum of oviscape bare, with apex broadly truncate dorsally, ventrally pointed, strongly curved downward, with few small apical setae. Venter of oviscape with several lateral and two ventrolateral thin setae. Intersegment 7–8 without sclerotization.
