Content
Description
Body length: 1.8 mm; wing length: ? mm.
Male coloration and vestiture: frons subshiny black, ocellar triangle and orbital plate slightly brown microtomentose, lunule black, basoflagellomere black, face black microtomentose, palpus black; thorax with mesonotum microtomentose (probably brown), scutellum and pleura same, wing hyaline, veins brown, brown spot at tip of vein R1 absent, calypter apparently brown with brown margin and yellow hairs, halter black, legs black except for yellow bases and tips of tibiae, and basitarsi; abdomen with T2-5 brown microtomentose except for shiny tip of T5.
Morphology. Head: frons with 2 orbital and 2 frontal setae, anterior frontal seta slightly medioproclinate. In males frons 2.3x as wide at posterior margin than at base of antenna, arista about 3.4x as long as basoflagellomere wide, pubescence on arista very short, posterior eye margin with notch (4-5 oc) and emargination (1-2oc).
Thorax: 2 dc, 1 prsc, 1? pprn, 1? prs, ? keps setae, posterior prsc about as long as posterior dc, seta between posterior prsc and posterior dc present. Wing with vein R4+5 and M1 converging, and ultimate section of vein M1 2.0x as long as penultimate section. Fore femur normal setulose, tibial organ absent.
Male abdomen: Posteromedial triangular projection of T1 into T2 present. Tergal chaetotaxy: T2 anterolateral corner with more than 3 lines of setae, T2-4 posterior half setulose, T5 posterior 2/3 setulose. S5 1.1x as long as wide, 1.6x as long and 1.2x as wide as S4, setulose, posterior margin indented. Male genitalia with 1 seta on subepandrial plate, surstylus 0.9x as long as epandrium high, bent posteriorly, dilated apically (1.9x), 5.9x as long as wide, structure of lateral surface smooth, medial surface with 3-5 setulae along anterior margin moving medially basally.
Remarks. The single type specimen has been tainted with liquid so that the colors are not true any more. One wing and several legs are missing.
