Posterior face of hind femur with broad basoventral group of tiny blunt setulae, dorsal setulae thicker ( Fig. 21 View FIGURE 21 F–G). Hind femur height/length ratio 0.36. Hind tibia with two dorsal setae in basal half. Wing ( Fig. 15E View FIGURE 15 ). Costa swollen, 0.48 of the wing length; R 2+3 absent; M 1 approximately straight, directed posteriorly; M 2 mostly concave, ending close to M 1, CuA 1 -M 2 /M 2 -M 1 ratio 1.94; CuA 1 approximately straight. Halter yellowish-brown. Abdomen. Tergite 1 yellowish brown; tergites two to five dark brown, lighter medially and posteriorly; tergite 6 dark brown, lighter posteriorly.
