Description. Male. Head subcircular in frontal view. Antenna with 13 flagellomeres; cylindrical scape; subquadrangular pedicel; basal flagellomeres pyriform and eccentric (Fig. 27A); ascoids 1.2 times as long as a flagellomere; 13th flagellomere subcylindrical with terminal apiculus separated by a suture (Fig. 27F). Palpus three segmented; first segment with sensilla in depressed pit on medial surface; palpus formula 1.0:0.6:0.5 (Fig. 27B). Wing. M2 not reaching M1; R4+5 incomplete at base; r-m and m-cu absent (Fig. 27C). Male terminalia: Hypandrium and gonocoxites fused with bifurcated basal expansion and lateroposterior bristles. Two pairs of arms of gonocoxites, the dorsal larger and broader than the ventral and both with bristles (Figs. 27D, 27 H). Gonostylus slightly sclerotized, articulated ventrally to gonocoxite, bare, truncated. Aedeagal complex with one pair of Hshaped fused projections. Aedeagus ending at midline of projections in the aedeagal complex (Fig. 27 H). Ejaculatory apodeme 0.8 times the length of gonostylus. Epandrium longer than wide, subcircular.
