Description: Body length 6 mm; wing 4 mm. Head and thorax dark brown (mesonotum black), tergites brown. Palpus brown except for white outer face. Clypeus brown with sparse pale microsetulae. First flagellomere dark brown. Fronto-orbital plate dark brown. Row of katepisternal setae brownish. Fore tibia brown. Fore tarsus white with brownish pubescence ventrally at base of tarsomere one. Hind femur mostly brown, narrowly white basally and with a small angled preapical white ring. Tergites dark brown. Oviscape dark brown.
Head: First flagellomere covered by pale microsetulae. Frontal vitta with a darkened spot anterior to ocellar plate. Frontal vitta flat, not swollen anterior to ocellar plate. Epicephala merging immediately posterior to ocellar plate (Fig. 49). Epicephalon flat, same level as frontal vitta.
Thorax: Mesonotum with lines of thin brownish microsetulae. Anterior half of postpronotal lobe bare. Femur covered with sparse black microsetulae. Mid and hind tibia almost cylindrical, sulcus on outer face weak. Female cervical sclerite with a whitish oval swelling. Cell r 4+5 open at the tip of the wing.
Abdomen: Pleural membrane with white bands on P1 and P3 (Fig. 52). Female abdomen: Single spermathecal duct with an apical small rounded swelling. Single spermatheca cylindrical, basally tapered and broadened on apical half with small rounded processes (Fig. 50). Paired spermathecal duct slightly broadened apically before splitting into stems. Paired spermathecal duct stems tapered on basal third, broad on apical half and slightly convoluted. Paired spermathecae oval, deeply invaginated apically. Male abdomen: Copulatory fork with quadrate inner basal lobes (Fig. 52). Ejaculatory apodeme bigger than epandrium; blade about as long as sperm pump. Phallapodeme short, not extending to anterior limit of hypandrium. Distiphallus long, longer than epandrium, phallic bulb cylindrical, subequal in width and length. Distal distiphallus short and thin, 1/4 of length and almost half of width of basal distiphallus.
Type material: Holotype of Grallomya thiemei: COLOMBIA. Cordillera. Terra Caliente. Date not cited (presumably late 1800s). Thieme coll. (1 ♀, ZMHB).
