Holotype ♂. Body length 4.5 mm.
Diagnosis. Fronto-orbital plate with dark brown pruinosity. Palpus dark brown to brown, orange at extreme distal tip. Tergite 6 almost as long as syntergosternite 7+8, narrowed medially. Epandrium with V-shaped spot anteromedially.
Head (Figs 15–17). Frontal pruinosity velvety dark brown, with distinct dorsal vitta projecting laterally to ocellar triangle reaching vertex area (Fig. 16). Height 1.4X the length; width 1.2X the height. Frons 1.7X wider than long. Fronto-orbital plate with dark brown pruinosity in frontal view (Fig. 16). Genal groove area reddish brown, large, bare; gena predominantly with gray-yellowish pruinosity; postgena dark brown pruinose (Fig. 17). Palpus brown to dark brown, orange at extreme distal tip.
Thorax (Fig. 18). Mesonotum dark brown to black with a faint gray pruinose stripe between dorsocentral setae, almost reaching third dorsocentral setae pair, more distinct when seen under anterior incident light. Scutellum dark brown to black; in dorsal view with somewhat inconspicuous gray pruinosity when seen under anterior incident light. Legs (Fig. 15). Coxae and femora brown to dark brown. Tibiae brown, yellowish on basal half. Tarsi light brown. Wing (Fig. 19). Slightly browner infuscated along anterior (costal) half. Length 4.5 mm, width 1.5 mm, 3X longer than wide.
Abdomen (Fig. 20). Male terminalia. Tergite 6 almost as long as syntergosternite 7+8, narrowed medially (Figs 21–22). Epandrium with scattered setae on posterior edge, with a whitish V-shaped spot anteromedially (Fig. 22). Cercus as long as epandrium, with sparse setae on anterior margin and outer surface (Fig. 21). Hypandrium 3.2X longer than epandrium (Figs 21–23, 25). Phallapodeme 2.8X longer than hypandrium (phallapodeme lost after description). Basiphallus almost as long as distiphallus (Figs 21, 24). Distiphallus suboval in ventral view, with small and indistinct fissure distally (Figs 23, 25). In ventral view, pregonite with distal mesial keel subrounded (Figs 23, 25); postgonite as a small thin sclerite (Fig. 24).
