Description. Male. Body length 1.32 mm. Frons dark brown. Supra-antennal setae present. Lower fronto-orbital setae absent. Lower interfrontal setae slightly shorter than upper interfrontal setae and the distance between each other equaled to that between upper interfrontal setae. First flagellomere ( Fig. 16F View FIGURES 16 ) dark brown, 0.20 mm long, with an aspect ratio of 2.12:1; arista 0.26 mm long, 1.29 times as long as that of first flagellomere. Palpus dark brown, with short setae apically.
Thorax brown. Mid and hind legs dark brown, fore leg brown. Fore tibia with 13 small near-dorsal setulae, the uppermost being longer than the rest. Mid femur without sense-organ. Wing length 1.23 mm. Costal index 0.42, costal ratio 1.92:1, costal setulae length 0.036 mm. Vein Rs with basisetula. Veins brown, except A 1 +CuA 2 whitish gray. Membrane hyaline. Halter brown.
Abdominal tergites dark brown. Terminalia ( Figs. 16A–C View FIGURES 16 ) dark brown. Left surstylus (Figs.B, D) long banded, with a cluster of 8 long, pointed inner teeth basally and a cluster of 10 long, pointed inner teeth apically. Right surstylus ( Figs. 16C, E View FIGURES 16 ) slightly square, with wavy apical edge, 4 long inner teeth on dorso-apical corner.
Female. Unknown.
Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin words margo (edge) and fluctus (wavy), indicating right surstylus feature.
Specimens examined. Holotype, ♂, Shanxi, Qinshui, Lishan , 19-Jul-2012, Lixin Su.
Distribution. China (Shanxi).
Remarks. The species can be distinguished from other species of the genus by long banded left surstylus and its distribution of inner teeth, the wavy edge of right surstylus. In the keys of Disney (1990) and Michailovskaya (2000), the species will not run out to any species.
