( Figs 1–2 View FIGURE 1 View FIGURE 2 )
Diagnosis. This new species resembles S. abdominalis (Sasakawa & Tamu) in wing pattern and general appearance of the male terminalia, but it differs from the latter in the subtriangular terminal flagellomere in the male antennae, and gonocoxites having 18–20 black strong spines on each posteromesal lobiform part in the male terminalia. In S. abdominalis , the terminal flagellomere is suboval in the male antennae, and the gonocoxites have 23–25 short spines on each posteromesal lobiform part in the male terminalia.

Description. Male ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ). Body length (without antennae) 4.5 mm. Wing length 1.3 mm, width 2.8 mm.
Head ( Fig. 2a View FIGURE 2 ) dark brown, with width 1.3 times of its height. Vertex with abundant dark setae, frons and face bare. Three ocelli arranged nearly in a line, lateral ocelli about three times of median one in diameter. Compound eyes almost hemispheric, covered with pointed setae. Clypeus brown with about 25–30 dark brown setae. Mouthparts reduced, maxillary palpus with two segments; segment 2 erecting forward, oval, with 6–8 setae laterally. Antenna ( Fig. 2c View FIGURE 2 ) brown and strongly compressed; scape and pedicel funnel-shaped, covered with several subapical and apical setae; flagellum pectinate and 14-segmented, each flagellomere bearing 6–10 setae on dorsal edge, segments 1–8 with a few microtrichia ventrally, subtriangular apically.
Thorax ( Figs 2d–e View FIGURE 2 ) brown. Scutum brown, covered with bushy setae, three dark brown longitudinal stripes. Scutellum brown, with several setae. Mediotergite brown, bare. Anepisternum dark brown, subtriangular, with thick setae on top corner. Laterotergite pale brown and subelliptical, bare. Halter length 0.8 mm, stem translucent, bare; knob dark brown, bearing setae.
Wing ( Fig. 2b View FIGURE 2 ) brown, without pattern, veins distinct. Wing membrane covered with abundant brown microsetae. Wing margin with short brown setae. R 1 and R 4+5 with setae arranged along the veins. Vein C terminates at 1/2 of R 4+5 to M 1. Vein m-cu and R+M fusion subequal in length; Rs about twice length of m-cu. Vein M 1 and M 2 weaker than other veins. CuA slightly curved; CuP free terminally, approximates outer margin.
Legs ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ) brown to dark brown. Fore coxa brown, covered with dense setae. Mid and hind coxae pale brown and bare on basal 2/3, dark brown and setose on distal 1/3. Femur, tibia and tarsus brown, covered with numerous setae. Hind tibia with two separated combs apically.
Abdomen ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ) brown to dark brown, with tergite 1 brown, tergites 2–4 pale and 5-8 dark brown, covered with dense dark setae.
Terminalia ( Figs 2f–h View FIGURE 2 ) brown. Tergite 9 subpentagonal, with abundant setae. Gonostylus curved, narrowed gradually towards end; basal 2/3 covered with setae, 10–12 black spines on inner margin, and having a tiny projection distal-laterally; apical process bare and subtransparent, slightly raised at half of inner margin, with a dark brown bristle terminally, hyaline part about 1.5 times length of bristle. Gonocoxites brown, with narrow incision at middle posteriorly, bearing 18–20 black strong spines on each posteromesal lobiform part. Cercus pale brown, digitate, with numerous setae.
Female. Unknown.
Etymology. The name of this new species comes from the Latin tri (three) and digitus (finger), which refers to the three-toed streak on the scutum.
