Chrysotimus Loew, 1857: 48 View in CoL . Typespecies: Chrysotimus pusio Loew, 1861 View in CoL , des. Coquillett (1910: 524).
Diagnosis. Smallsized (body length 1.4–2.8 mm); head and thorax usually with yellow or yellowish hairs and bristles, even sometimes thorax with brown or brownish hairs and bristles. Face parallelsided, arista dorsal to apical on small first flagellomere. Thorax broad, metallic green, posterior mesonotum distinctly flattened; 4–6 dc, acr biseriate or absent. Legs often yellow or brownish; hind coxa with 1 outer bristle near middle; mid and hind femora often with preapical bristles, fore tibia without distinct ad (or pd), but mid and hind tibiae with distinct ad and pd. Most males with hind tarsomere 1 bearing several short erect black ventral bristles, and males with mid tarsomere 1 at least as long as the total of corresponding tarsomeres 2–4. Small hypopygium hidden under tip of abdomen.
Remarks. Guzeriplia Negrobov, 1968 , embodies the characters of Chrysotimus Loew in the head and thorax with the yellow hairs and bristles and biseriate acr. But in Guzeriplia , the hypopygium is large (almost as long as abdomen), bearing a long surstylus and cercus. Bickel (2004) reminded that it should be within the range of variation of the latter, probably as a synonymy.
