Maxillary palpus with 3 segments; segment 3 longer than segment 1, with 7 short truncate setae; segment 2 shortest, with 1 long sharp seta and 5 shorter truncate setae; segment 1 with one long sharp seta, and a dorsal patch of sensilla. Antennal flagellomere 4 2.3x as long as wide, neck shorter than broad; longest setae as long as the width of flagellomere. Thorax. Setae dark. Setae of anterior pronotum and prothoracic episternum not visible in the specimen. Scutellum with 2 long setae. Wing. Length 1.7 mm. Anal lobe distinct. Width/length 0.40.

Gonocoxa longer than gonostylus; ventral setosity sparse, setae at the apical part of mesial margin not elongated. Gonostylus elongated, narrowed towards apex and base, mesial side impressed at apical half; setosity sparse, apicomesially with a few elongated setae; bearing a long and curved apical tooth, with 5 subapical megasetae (subequal in size, slender, slightly curved, sharp, about as long as the apical tooth).
