Diagnosis.
Small-sized fishflies (forewing length
21–22 mm
in males,
24–31 mm
in females). Head yellow, vertex sometimes with brownish or blackish markings on median or lateral portions. Ocelli medially margined black. Antenna black except for scape and pedicel yellow. Mouthparts yellow, mandibles with distal half black. Pronotum yellow, laterally with two pairs of broad blackish markings, posteromedially sometimes also with a blackish marking; meso- and metanota yellow, each with a pair of blackish markings laterally. Legs yellow, but tarsi slightly darkened distad. Wings ovoid, slightly narrower and longer in females. Forewing with pale grayish brown markings, some of which near wing base are much darker; markings on crossveins among RP+MA, MP, CuA, and CuP arranged as a transverse band; markings on distal half mostly gathered around distal two series of crossveins, leaving two broad transparent areas on either side of distal nygma. Hindwing mostly immaculate, sometimes with grayish dots on nygmata. Male genitalia: Tergum 9 strongly arched, with posterior margin arcuately concave medially in lateral view; in dorsal view posterior margin with a small median incision. Ectoproct laterally broad, with posterodorsal corner acutely tapered dorsad and with posteroventral corner produced ventrad into a short subtriangular process; in dorsal view acutely pointed and slightly curved medially at tip, with rows of brushy setae on inner portion. Fused gonocoxites 10 obliquely directed dorsad, with distal 1/3 rather narrowed in lateral view; in ventral view median plate rather slender, strongly narrowed distad with rounded tip. Female genitalia: Fused gonocoxites
8 in
ventral view broad, slightly narrowed posteriad, medially depressed longitudinally, laterally with a pair of narrowly elongate sclerites. Ectoproct short and stout, with posterodorsal corner strongly produced in lateral view. Gonocoxite 9 broadly valvate, with distal margin truncate.
