Description. Male. Body length 2.1 mm. Head. Frons brown, sparsely setulose, with well-defined median furrow. Flagellomere 1 light brown, conical. Arista apical, about twice flagellomere 1 length. Palpus yellowish-brown. Gena with two setae. Thorax. Scutum, scutellum, and pleural regions brown; anepisternum dorsally setulose. Legs yellowish-brown. Forefemur with slightly elongate setae along posteroventral margin. Foretibia with two dorsal setae, anterodorsal row of strong setulae; and long thin curved setae on posterior and ventral faces. Foremetatarsus with anterior excavation bearing few setulae, setulose anteroapical process, group of setae at base of excavation with one slightly stronger seta, and seta at base of anteroapical process. Ventral margin of foremetatarsus excavation slightly projected anteriorly ( Fig. 8L View FIGURE 8 ). Foremetatarsus ratio 0.34. Posterior face of hind femur with basoventral band of tiny blunt setulae, dorsal setulae thicker ( Fig. 18 View FIGURE 18 J–K). Hind femur height/length ratio 0.34. Hind tibia with one dorsal seta in basal half. Wing ( Fig. 13L View FIGURE 13 ). Costa swollen, 0.39 of the wing length; R 2+3 absent; M 1 concave, curved posteriorly at apex; M 2 sinuous, CuA 1 -M 2 /M 2 -M 1 ratio 1.7; CuA 1 sinuous. Halter white. Abdomen. Tergites dark brown; tergites 1-5 with shiny pubescence. Hypopygium light brown ( Fig. 24M View FIGURE 24 ). Left epandrial process with dorsal setae, dorsal medially directed lobe, and internal face with elevation near base with apical setulae. Margin of right lobe of hypandrium without lateral projection. Hypoproct with three setae.

Distribution. Central Amazonia ( Fig. 27F View FIGURE 27 ).

Etymology. Name derived from the Greek roots dasys (hairy) and podos (foot), referring to the foretibia and foretarsus with elongated ventral thin setae.

Variations. Specimens with three dorsal setae on foretibia; thin setae on posterior and ventral faces of foretibia not as long and curved as in the holotype.
