Description . Frons width 0.2 mm ; ratio of frons width to eye width 1.7 (measured in dorsal view); orbit 0.23 times width of frons (including orbits) at midpoint; parafacial and cheek absent; 2 reclinate ors and 2 inclinate ori; orbital setulae reclinate, sparse; first flagellomere particularly small (one missing), and covered with short pubescence; arista approximately same length as maximum eye height with short but dense pubescence; gena deep, conspicuously extended at rear; gena height at midpoint: 0.30 times maximum eye height; clypeus narrow, with upper margin rounded; eye bare. One presutural and three postsutural dorsocentrals (but almost all setae missing); acrostichal setulae long, in about 6 irregular rows; prescutellar acrostichal seta absent; 2 notopleural setae; 1 strong postpronotal seta with 1 weaker one (about 1/3 length of strong seta); anepisternum with 1 strong seta on posterior margin a little above midpoint, and apparently 2 smaller setae; fore and mid tibiae without lateral seta; stridulatory mechanism present. Small species, thorax length dorsally (excluding scutellum): 0.6 mm . Wing measurement not possible (one wing missing and one damaged). Colour . Frons and anterior orbit yellow; posterior orbit (especially along eye margin) brown to anterior ors; both vt on brown; hind margin of eye brown on dorsal half; face yellow; antenna brown, but first flagellomere yellowish basally and medially; palpus brown; upper margin of clypeus appearing mat. Mesonotum almost completely shining brown except for small yellow patch at hind corner; scutellum bright yellow centrally with brown patch laterally; basal scutellar seta on dark ground; postpronotum yellow with central brown patch; notopleuron mostly yellow but dark brown at junction with anepisternum; anepisternum narrowly yellow posteriorly (more so at posterodorsal corner); katepisternum mostly brown except upper margin yellow; calypter completely brown including margin and fringe; halter white; legs mostly brown, slightly paler ventrally; fore and mid-knees apparently yellowish (legs shriveled). Male genitalia . Distiphallus narrowly separated from slightly shorter mesophallus; distiphallus parallel-sided, curving dorsally in lateral view ( Fig. 28 ); posteroventral margin of epandrium with strong spine ( Fig. 30 ); surstylus with long spine apically ( Fig. 30 ).
