( Figs 201–202, 300)

Species recognition. This species is recognized by the elongate, slightly downturned group of peglike setae, in combination with a highly contrasting yellowish pleuron, dark brown dorsal one-third of pleuron, and dark brown midcoxa.

Scutellum dark brown, with 2 pairs of setae; anterior seta one-half length of posterior seta. Pleuron whitish-yellow, except dorsum contrastingly dark brown. Mean costal length 0.56 wing length, range 0.54–0.57. Halter whitish-yellow. Legs yellowish-brown. Forecoxa in lateral view yellow. Foretibia with 4 dorsal setae, with second most apical much smaller than others. Foretarsomeres slender, elongate. Midcoxa dark brown. Hind coxa yellowish-brown. Hind coxal lobe light brown, only slightly developed. Posterior face of hind femur with elongate triple (rarely double), slightly ventrally curved row of peglike setae; with shallow concavity immediately distal of peglike setae, ventral margin appearing clear with light microscopy ( Figs 201–202, 300). Abdomen: Abdominal tergite 1 brown, tergites 2–6 dark brown, tergites 2–3 diffusely yellow anteriorly and all tergites with yellow posterior margin.
