: Head: Frons dark yellowish beige, ocellar triangle slightly darker; fronto-orbital plates slightly lighter than frontal vittae. Face dull yellowish, clypeus and vibrissal angle slightly darker. Palp and proboscis very light. Antenna light, fuscous brown, pedicel slightly darker than basal flagellomere. Eye pink. Thorax: Scutum, scutellum, postnotum deep, dull yellowish to ochre, postpronotal lobe lighter; dorsal portion of pleura light, fuscous brown; katepisternum and meron cream colored. Legs entirely light, cream colored. Wing entirely hyaline, no markings; veins light fuscous brown; halter dull yellow, knob light cream. Abdominal coloration sexually dimorphic: Male with abdomen mostly black brown, shiny; all of tergite 1, anterior half of tergite 2, anteromedian portion of tergite 3 ochre; tergite 3 with median pattern (see figs. 20, 21); tergite 7 remnants and epandrium light, fuscous brown. Female with tergites 2–6 having anterior half light, cream colored, posterior half dark brown; tergites 3–6 with posterior dark band expanded into central spot, spots fused into central, dark median stripe; tergite 1 fuscous brown, tergite 7 (divided medially) dark brown, oviscapt yellow.
Antenna: Scape and pedicel setulose, pedicel with two stout setae on anterior surface; basal flagellomere with long, fine, light setulae, longest ones approximately 1/2 width of flagellomere, apex of flagellomere not quite reaching to level of oral margin; arista with 5 dorsal branches, 2 ventral branches (opposite to dorsal branches 4 and 5, or nearly so), plus small terminal fork. Eye taller than long in lateral view, with dense, light interfacetal setulae. Face relatively flat, with narrow, low carina on upper portion. Vibrissa large, stout, well differentiated; subvibrissal seta approximately half the length of vibrissa. Cheek, clypeus shallow. Proboscis short, largely withdrawn into oral cavity at rest; labellum approximately to length of oral cavity; palp fairly large, bilaterally asymmetrical, with single apical seta. Frons: Of moderate length and width; fronto-orbital plates slightly shiny; frontal vittae dull, finely striate. Fronto-orbital setae well developed: proclinate slightly shorter than posterior reclinate; anterior reclinate directly lateral to proclinate, approximately 1/2 the size; posterior reclinate noticeably closer to other orbitals than to verticals. Inner vertical seta long, strongly inclinate, outer vertical strongly lateroclinate. Ocellar triangle slightly shiny; ocellar seta nearly reaching to level of ptilinum; postocellar setae convergent but not crossed.
Setation: Acrostichal setae in 6 even rows; 2–3 acrostichals immediately anterior to transverse suture slightly enlarged. Anterior dorsocentral ca. 0.7× length of posterior dorsocentral; posterior dorsocentral midway between anterior dorsocentral and anterior margin of scutellum. Anterior scutellar seta slightly smaller than posterior scutellar; anteriors convergent; posterior (apical) scutellar setae crossing at apical third. Postpronotal lobe with 2 small setae; 2 setae very close to notopleural suture (posterior one short); 1 large seta dorsal to these. Two supraalar setae, 1 small postalar. Two large katepisternal setae, anterior one ca. 0.65× size of posterior one; small seta between these.
Forefemur with 2–3 long ventrodistal setae; foretibia with short preapical dorsal seta; ctenidia on tibia and basitarsomere golden, well developed; 2–3 short, black setae at apex of probasitarsomere; male foretarsi without fine, erect setulae on dorsal surface. Midfemur without large setae, midtibia with large, stout ventroapical seta. Hind femur without large setae; hind tibia with small preapical dorsal seta.
Epandrium height nearly twice the width and length; with sparse microtrichia dorsally, none laterally; anterodorsal phragma large; ventral epandrial lobe small (apex not reaching to level of apex of surstylus), tip of lobe with large, thick, curved seta, much smaller, fine setae anterior to macroseta. Cercus small, not connected to epandrium; with ventral tuft of fine setae; no microtrichia. Surstylus apparently bilobed; with small, inner lobe having inner marginal row of ca. 14 evenly sized prensisetae, inner lobe with microtrichia on outer surface arranged roughly into irregular rows. Apparent outer, large lobe of surstylus ca. 1.5× length of inner one, with ca. 15 stiff, stout setae only on apical half (no prensisetae). Hypandrium roughly U-shaped, with 2 pairs posterior lobes, outer pair with microtrichia. Paraphyses long, digitate, extended to level of aedeagal tip, flattened at tip; with lateral row of 3–4 minute sensilla; pair of short, stout setae near base. Aedeagus short, stout, scaled; slightly shorter than aedeagal apodeme. Flat surface of ejaculatory apodeme oblique to main part of apodeme.
Oviscapt with pegs but otherwise unmodified, margin entire, no differentiation of pegs at apex; with ca. 18 pegs along margin, gradually decreased in size anteriad, 1 stout, long preapical dorsal seta. Oviprovector with sparse, small scales. Spermatheca dome shaped, with introvert extended nearly to apex of capsule.

), and it has a high number of posterior and medial sensilla on the cibarium (most species in the species group have a highly reduced number). Distinctive apomorphic features include the anterior reclinate orbital lateral to the proclinate; microtrichia in dense rows on the surstylus but sparse on the epandrium and entirely lacking on the cercus; and an apparent bilobed condition of the surstylus, with the inner lobe having a long row of prensisetae and outer lobe with just stiff setae. Lastly, the paraphyses are long, flanking the aedeagus, each with a row of sensilla, similar to what is seen in
