Flagellum acuminate, brown. Face silvery pollinose. Frons, upper part shining black; lower part distinctly silver pollinose; eyes touching for distance equal to 1.5 times the length of ocellar triangle. Occiput silvery pollinose, slightly less so on upper half. <i>Thorax</i>. Postpronotum pale, with 4–5 pale bristles. Mesonotum (viewed obliquely from front) brownish pollinose, anterior part more grey, greyish also from the side. Scutellum not visible (glue blocks the view). Dorsocentral bristles distinct, dark, somewhat longer on frontal edge, numerous long bristles around postpronotum present. Halter, knob brown, stem brown. <i>Legs</i>. Mid coxa with 3 long, dark bristles. Trochanters and femora dark brown, shining ventrally, silvery pollinose posteriorly except shiny hind femur; knees and basal 1/6 of tibiae yellow-brown (tibiae otherwise dark brown), tarsal segments yellow-brown, ventrally paler, last segment darker. Hind trochanter with a small patch of extra short bristles; ventrobasal spines absent on fore and mid femora. Ventroapical row of spines on fore femur absent; absent on mid femur; hind femur without ventroapical spines, bristles not visible on specimen. Subapical (distal) spines on first four tibiae absent. Hind trochanter with a small patch of extra short bristles; ventrobasal spines absent on fore and mid femora. Hind tibia not bent in posterior view. Metatarsi slightly flattened, almost as long as 2–4 combined. Pulvilli shorter than last tarsal segment. <i>Wing</i>. Length: 3.1 mm. Upper side of basal costal cell with one light bristle. Fourth costal section 2 times as long as third costal section. Cross-vein r-m at 2/5 of discal cell (proximal to middle). 2–3 distinct brown setulae on tegula. <i>Abdomen</i>. Dissected. <i>Genitalia</i>. Genital capsule in dorsal view: epandrium longer than wide (MLE:MWE = 1.8). Surstyli elongated towards surstyli, broadened at base, straightened in middle, left surstylus wider than right one, distally curved to each other (Fig. 49A). Genital capsule in ventral view: gonopods elongated, tapering at apex, unequal in height, left is longer than right one; subepandrial sclerite with 3–4 horizontal wrinkles (Fig. 49B); phallic guide with 3–4 dorso- dorsolateral spines (Fig. 49F). Genital capsule in lateral view: both surstyli curved towards sternite, straight in middle (Fig. 49D–F).
