2. Scutum with 3 postsutural dorsocentral setae. Compound eye covered with scattered, long ommatrichia (longest ommatrichia at least as long as three eye facets). Hind tibia with 4 strong dorsal preapical setae. Basicosta yellow. Mid-dorsal depression on abdominal syntergite 1+ 2 not extended back to hind margin of syntergite. Scutellum without erect preapical setae. Three katepisternal setae. Tibiae yellow. Male: 2 strong proclinate orbital setae ( Figs. 1a, c View Fig ; 2e, g View Fig ). Female: tergite 5 long, conical, 1.1–1.3 times as long as tergite 4 ( Fig. 4a–b View Fig ); egg macrotype, membranous, fully embryonated .................................................................
