Diagnosis. Aedeagus slightly acute apically, with a pair of strong, acute processes subbasally (pr in Fig. 4 E); aedeagal, basolateral process slender, with several serrated processes distally (Fig. 4 E).
Description. Ocellar triangle yellowish brown, with 3–4 setae above ocellar setae (Fig. 4 A). Frons brownish yellow to yellowish brown. Pedicel brownish yellow; first flagellomere yellow. Clypeus brownish yellow medially and brown laterally. Postpronotal lobe brownish yellow (Fig. 2 C). Scutellum brownish yellow (Fig. 2 B). Wing (Fig. 2 A): Costal vein between R2+3 and R4+5 distally with 5–7 peg-like spinules on ventral surface. Halter brownish laterally. Abdominal tergites brown to dark brown (Fig. 3 A, B); second mostly yellow, but brown posteriorly; third with a pair of yellow patches submedially on anterior margin, yellow laterally; fourth and fifth each with 2 pairs of yellow patches submedially on anterior margin, yellow laterally; sixth dark brown in male, with a pair of yellow patches submedially in female. Male terminalia: Epandrium with ca. 11 setae near posterior margin and ventral corner per side (Fig. 4 B). Paramere nearly rectangular, with distinct wrinkles and 4 sensilla (Fig. 4 D). Aedeagus bifurcated from base, slightly reticulated ventrally (Fig. 4 E).
