Type material studied: Holotype: female, Indonesia, Java, Depok, 07.x, Jacobson ( ZMAN). The red label ‘ Empis abbrevinervis De Meijere 1911 , ZMAN type DIPT.0428.1’ was subsequently added to the holotype . Other material: 1 male in bad condition (in alcohol), Thailand, Loei Province, Na Haeo (SWU-FIRS), 12– 28.vi.2000, P.Grootaert ( KBIN –IRScNB)

Etymology: The name of the species is derived from that of E. (C.) nahaeoensis Daugeron & Grootaert ( Daugeron & Grootaert, 2003a) , the two species showing a very close morphology.

Labium yellowish-brown. Fore femur with 1 short anteroventral spine apically; fore tibia with 1 antero- and posterodorsal rows of rather strong, as long as tibia depth bristles; fore tarsus with short dorsals. Abdomen with sternite 8 more sclerotized dorsolaterally. Epandrium lacking long rounded anterodorsal projection ( Fig. 39 ).
