Foremetatarsus with anterior excavation bearing three tiny setulae, anteroapical setulose process, group of setae at excavation base including one long curved setae, strong seta at base of anteroapical process ( Fig. 8P View FIGURE 8 ). Foremetatarsus ratio 0.34. Posterior face of hind femur with basoventral tiny blunt setulae with triangular distribution, tapering toward ventral margin ( Figs. 19 View FIGURE 19 F–G). Hind femur height/length ratio 0.37. Hind tibia with one dorsal seta in basal half. Wing ( Fig. 14D View FIGURE 14 ). Slightly dusky. Costa swollen, 0.4 of the wing length; R 2+3 absent or vestigial; M 1 concave, curved posteriorly at apex; M 2 slightly concave, CuA 1 -M 2 /M 2 -M 1 ratio 1.5; CuA 1 sinuous. Halter white. Abdomen. Tergites dark brown, with shining pubescence. Hypopygium brown ( Fig. 24Q View FIGURE 24 ). Left epandrial process bifurcated into a dorsal and a ventral lobe. Ventral lobe with many strong setulae at medial face. Dorsal lobe with subepandrial setulose elevation. Right subepandrial plate expanded posteriorly, apically bilobed. Margin of right lobe of hypandrium with lateral projection. Hypoproct with one seta.
