Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: J ( BLKU), [KYUSHU] / Fukuoka / Mt.Raizan / 17.ix.1995 / R. Matsumoto . PARATYPES: JAPAN: SHIKOKU: 1 J, Mount Odamiyama, Oda Town, Ehime Prefecture, 14.vii.1998, T. Tachi; 1 ♀, Mt.Takanawa, Hojyo City, Ehime Prefecture, R. Matsumoto; 1 J, Yanase, Umaji Village, Kochi Prefecture, 6.vii.1996, M. Sueyoshi. KYUSHU: 4 JJ, same data as holotype; 1 J, Takayama, Ebino City, Miyazaki Prefecture, 22.v.1996, M. Sueyoshi; 1 ♀, Miike, Miyazaki Prefecture, T. Tachi (all in BLKU).
Diagnosis. Fronto-orbital plate with yellowish pruinosity and with row of short setae; 3 postsutural dorsocentral setae; abdomen with whitish pruinosity on narrow anterior margins of tergites 3–5; male postabdomen with surstylus thickened and slightly curved dorsally in apical 1/ 5 in lateral view.
Description. Body length 3.7–4.0 mm. Male. Head whitish in ground color; fronto-orbital plate with yellowish pruinosity; frontal vitta light yellow; antenna with scape and pedicel orange; postpedicel and arista brownish; palpus yellow. Vertex 0.31–0.33 of head width; parafacial much narrower than width of 2nd arisotmere at middle height; gena 0.18–0.20 of eye height; anterior reclinate orbital seta situated posterior to middle of fronto-orbital plate; fronto-orbital plate with a row of short setae; antenna with postpedicel subrectangular, 2.0–2.3 times as long as wide and approximately 5 times as long as pedicel; 2nd aristomere 2–3 times as long as wide; 3rd aristomere thickened in basal 2/5 and tapered to apex; palpus clavate; prementum 4–5 times as long as wide and 0.42–0.55 times as long as eye height; labella pad-like.
Thorax. Dorsum gray in ground color, with yellowish pruinosity; postpronotal lobe light yellow in ground color, with whitish pruinosity; apical half of scutellum yellowish; pleura brownish, with whitish gray pruinosity. Three postsutural dorsocentral setae.
Wing. Tegula black; basicosta light yellow. Relative lengths of costal sectors two, three and four approximately
2: 12: 5; ultimate section of M 4 0.35–0.38 times as long as penultimate section and subequal in length to crossvein dm-m; R

bare.
Legs orange in ground color; tarsi brownish.
Abdomen brownish in ground color, with whitish pruinosity on anterior 1/10 of tergites 3–5; tergites 3–5 with black median longitudinal vitta. Syntergite 1+2 without lateral marginal setae; tergite 3 with pair of lateral and median marginal setae; sternite 5 with pair of relatively rounded median lobes on inner edge.
Male postabdomen. Surstylus thickened in lateral view, apex slightly curved dorsally, with many strong inner setae; cerci curved dorsally in middle in lateral view, apex curved ventrally; pregonite pointed apically in lateral view, without seta; postgonite not bifurcated apically, pointed apicoventrally; distiphallus mostly sclerotized in lateral view with tiny spinules ventrally.
Female. Similar to male, but differing as follows: gena narrower, approximately 0.16 of eye height; antenna with postpedicel slender, approximately 3.3 times as long as wide. Female postabdomen as in S. (A.) laboriosa .
Etymology. This species is named in honor of Dr. R. Matsumoto (Osaka Museum of Natural History), who collected the holotype.
Host. Unknown.
Distribution. Japan (Shikoku, Kyushu).
