based on the following combination of external character states: arista short pubescent, thickened on approximately basal 1/5; eye bare; parafacial with an uneven row of setae anteriorly; proepisternum bare; katepisternum with two, widely separated, setae; mid tibia with one anterodorsal seta; wing cell r4+5 open at wing margin.
