( Figs. 1–11 View FIGURES 1 – 11 )
Diagnosis. Fore tarsomere 1 of male swollen dorsally. Wing entirely hyaline with inconspicuous pterostigma.
Description. Holotype male, previously preserved in alcohol; specimen somewhat discolored by alcohol action. Body length 2.6 mm; wing length 3.9 mm. Frons shining black, wider than anterior ocellus width. Face slightly narrower than frons, approximately as wide as anterior ocellus width. Ocellar tubercle slightly protuberant with 1 pair of ocellar setae. Postcranium black, gray pruinose. Antenna yellow, flagellum with one flagellomere.
Proboscis yellow. Palpus yellowish. Thorax shining black, gray pruinose; postpronotal and postalar lobes slightly yellow. Thoracic setae: 2 antepronotals; 1–3 minute proepisternals; 5–7 katatergitals; other setae as described for limbipennis species-group (diagnosed above). Legs shining yellow with mid and hind coxae, hind tibia and all tarsi slightly darker. Femora/tibiae setae slightly stronger: mid tibia ( Fig. 2 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) with 1 anterodorsal, 1 posterodorsal near middle, 2–3 ventral along distal half; hind femur ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) with 1 anteroventral at distal third; hind tibia ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) with 3–4 slender dorsal setae. Hind tarsomere 1 with one longer dorsal seta. Fore tarsus ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) unicolorous with tarsomere 1, swollen dorsally. Wing ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) entirely hyaline with inconspicuous pterostigma. Cell dm truncate. Veins M1, M2 and A1 evanescent. Halter white. Abdomen shining black, more gray pruinose on terminalia. Sternites 1–2 slightly yellow. Tergite 8 ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) with distal sinus. Epandrium ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) with anterodorsal and posterodorsal lobes of same height with shallow sinus. Anterior cercus very large with internal sinus; posterior cercus somewhat short; median lobe membranous with long setae. Hypandrium ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) with setae medially and apex somewhat simple. Ejaculatory apodeme with short dorsal lamella.
Female. Body length not measured; wing length 2.4 mm. Frons and face as in male. Fore tarsomere 1 not swollen. Hind femur without anteroventral setae. Hind tibia with 3 dorsal setae. Tergite 8 ( Figs. 8, 9 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) with distinct distal sulcus. Sternite 8 ( Figs. 8, 10 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) highly modified, with distinct sulcus ventrally and laterally. Genital fork ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 1 – 11 ) small with apex short U–shaped. Genital chamber membranous.
Geographical distribution. Brazil (Distrito Federal).
Type Material. HOLOTYPE ɗ: “ BRASIL, DF [Distrito Federal], Brasília, Res[erva] Biol[ógica] [do] IBGE, Brejoi (sic, = Brejo) Taquara [15 ° 57'21.93''S – 47 ° 53'18.32''W], iv.1981, B.F.S. Dias et al. Cols.” // “ Macrostomus inflatus Holótipo ɗ” ( INPA). PARATYPES. Same data as holotype, v.1981 (1Ψ, INPA); 18–25.iii.1982 (1ɗ, INPA, body entirely in microvial with glycerin).
Holotype condition. Pinned (previously preserved in alcohol), in good condition.
Etymology. From Latin inflatus = swollen, in reference to the swollen shape of the male fore first tarsomere.
