Eye kidney-shaped, hind margin slightly indented; vertex 0.30−0.35 of head width in male and 0.37−0.40 in female; fronto-orbital plate and upper 1/5 of parafacial covered with yellowish pruinosity in male and silver pruinosity in female; ocellar triangle occupying at most posterior 1/3 of frontal vitta; vibrissa 0.50−0.60 times as long as eye height; inner vertical seta strong, 0.40−0.50 and 0.55 times as long as eye height in male and female, respectively; arista thickened on approximately basal 2/5 and 1/ 2 in male and female, respectively; second aristomere 1.0−1.5 times as long as wide; palpus black or dark brown, thickened apically; 1−2 presutural and 1−2 postsutural acrostichal setae; legs black or dark brown; mid tibia with 1 and 1−2 ventral setae in male and female, respectively; syntergite 1+2 and tergite 3 yellow with a longitudinal black median vitta, tergites 4 and 5 entirely black; syntergite 1+2 with 2−4 lateral marginal setae, tergite 3 with a row of marginal setae. Male terminalia (Figs. 65−68): Sternite 5 with posteromedian cleft narrowed and deeply V-shaped, without a membranous area between anterior margin and cleft, and with fine setulae posteriorly; epandrium narrow and small in caudal view, with fine setulae; cerci short and slender in caudal view, with fine short setulae on inner lateral margin, dorsally broadly separated except for fused apex; surstylus long and strongly expanded posteriorly in lateral view, with fine short setulae; hypandrium broad in lateral view, hypandrial arm long and sclerotized; pregonite and postgonite fused, broad and long, elongate anteriorly in lateral view; ejaculatory apodeme short. Female terminalia (Figs. 23−24): Tergite 6 about as long as tergite 5, tergite 6 ventrally with a bifid protrusion subapically.
Description of male (Figs. 13−17, 65−68). Head (Figs. 15−16) black in ground color, dark brown or black on parafacial, fronto-orbital plate and frontal vitta, reddish brown to dark brown on gena, black on genal dilation, and yellowish-brown on face; yellowish pruinosity on fronto-orbital plate and upper 1/5 of parafacial, dense grayishwhite or silvery pruinosity on lower 4/5 of parafacial, face, genal dilation, gena and occiput; antenna and palpus black. Frontal vitta 3.0−3.5 times as wide as fronto-orbital plate at middle; parafacial about as wide as 1st flagellomere at mid width; face weakly concave, lower margin slightly produced forward; gena 0.11−0.13 times as high as eye height. Outer vertical seta fine or indistinguishable from upper occipital setae; ocellar setae fine, 0.75−0.80 times as long as inner vertical seta; ocellar triangle with several fine black setulae; 4−6 fine postocellar setae with apices bent forward, 0.65−0.70 times as long as inner vertical seta; 10−14 strong frontal setae, lowest seta slightly below the level of base of pedicel; fronto-orbital plate with 2 rows of fine black setulae on inner margin, several fine black setulae among frontal setae, and 2 rows of fine black setulae on outer margin of frontal vitta; facial ridge with 1−2 short setulae just above vibrissa and 4−5 subvibrissal setae. Antenna: 1st flagellomere 2.2−2.5 times as long as wide and 1.5−2.0 times as long as pedicel; pedicel bearing black setulae and a long seta, the latter 2.0−2.2 times as long as pedicel; arista bare, 1st aristomere shorter than wide. Palpus nearly cylindrical, only weakly widened near apex, nearly as long as pedicel and 1st flagellomere combined.
Thorax black in ground color, with grayish pruinosity on postpronotal lobe, notopleural region, narrow posterior portion of presutural area and intra-alar region of postsutural scutum; pleura broadly with grayish-white pruinosity; dorsum with 4 narrow dark longitudinal vittae, fused anteriorly. All thoracic setulae black, erect and fine; 3 presutural dorsocentral setae; 2 supra-alar setae, anterior one shorter than anterior intra-alar and notopleural setae; scutellum black in ground color, without pruinosity, strong apical setae crossed and horizontal, 1.2−1.5 times as long as scutellum; basal and subapical setae subequal in length and 1.3−1.5 times as long as scutellum. Wing (Fig. 17) hyaline; tegula black; basicosta yellow to light brown; lower calypter translucent pale yellow or yellowish white. Costal seta not differentiated; costa with setulae ventrally from base to apex of 3rd costal sector; vein R4+5 with 4−6 fine setulae at base, dorsally and ventrally; vein M, from crossvein dm-cu to its bend, 1.5−2.0 times as long as distance between the bend and wing margin.
