Lunule with 2 setae. Vibrissal angle relatively acute, vibrissa strong, located below level of lower eye margin. Antenna blackish brown with pubescence; pedicel with short black setulae at middle and margin, longest one about 4 times longer than others; first flagellomere with pubescence; arista 3 times as long as first flagellomere, black, distinctly pubescent. Proboscis short and with short sparse black setulae at margin. Palpus elongate, 7 times as long as wide, dark brown with short dense black setulae, margin with short sparse seta.
