Description. Male. Colour. Head, antenna, thorax and abdomen pale reddish brown, coxae paler brown, legs yellow. Wing fumose. Head. Eye bridge 3 facets wide. Face (prefrons) with 3–6 setae. Clypeus with 1 seta. Maxillary palpus, Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 A: with 3 palpomeres. Palpomere 1 with 1 seta, the hyaline sensilla in patch or shallow sensory pit. Palpomere 2 with 6 setae, palpomere 3 with 5 setae. Antennal flagellomere 4, Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 B, body 1.8–2.9 times as long as wide. Thorax. Anterior pronotum with 3–4 setae. Episternum 1 with 3–7 setae. Wings Length 0.9–1.4 mm, width/length 0.40–0.50. R1/R 0.45–0.80. c/ w 0.70 –0.85. r-m as long as bM or shorter, r-m/bM 0.60–1.00, r-m and bM non-setose. Anal lobe weak. Legs. Apex of fore tibia, Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 C. Length of fore basitarsomere/length of fore tibia 0.45–0.60. Abdomen. Sternite 8 with 4–11 setae. Hypopygium ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 D–F). Tegmen with gently curved sub-basal lateral shoulders. Aedeagal apodeme rather long, aedeagal teeth ca. 10. Gonocoxite as long as gonostylus, sparsely setose. Gonostylus narrow, with one large curved megaseta on a large basal body at about the basal third of the gonostylus, with one stout apical and one smaller subapical megaseta. No apical tooth.

Female. Unknown.

Discussion. In the large material studied, there is variation in the structure of the gonostylus and in the length of the antennal flagellomeres of Keilbachia acumina . However, we consider the specimens conspecific. K. acumina is very similar to K. subferrata Rudzinski , but is distinguished by having the smaller mesial megaseta in a more apical position, the large megaseta in a more basal position and by having the basal body of the latter shorter. K. acumina also resembles K. ferrata Hippa & Vilkamaa by having a rather long subbasal mesial megaseta on a large basal body and one apical and one subapical megaseta on the gonostylus. K. acumina can be distinguished by having the basal body slightly smaller, and by having the socket of the apical megaseta more distinct, and by having its tegmen more roundish laterally, with no distinct basolateral shoulders.
