R2 + 3
at same vertical level as crossvein dm-cu; brown apical spots on
R2 + 3
,
R4 + 5
, and M

Frons as long as wide and parallel-sided; ocellar triangle yellow, ocellar seta developed, slightly longer than anterior fronto-orbital seta, anterior fronto-orbital seta shorter than posterior fronto-orbital seta. Gena ~ 1 / 6 height of eye. Antenna yellow, first flagellomere ~ 2.0 × longer than high; arista black except brown at base, long plumose, with longest ray slightly shorter height of first flagellomere. Proboscis pale yellow; palpus yellow.
Thorax
(Fig.
64
) yellow, with gray pruinosity. 0 + 3 dorsocentral setae, anteriormost postsutural dorsocentral seta far from scutal suture, acrostichal setulae in ten irregular rows. Legs yellow. Fore femur with nine posterior dorsal setae, four posterior ventral setae. and ctenidium with 18–20 short setae; fore tibia with one dorsal preapical seta and one short apical ventral seta. Mid femur with five anterior setae and one apical posterior seta; mid tibia with one dorsal preapical seta and three strong apical ventral setae. Hind femur with several weak anterior ventral setae and one preapical anterior dorsal seta; hind tibia with one dorsal preapical seta and one short apical ventral seta. Wing (Fig.
62

separated from brown cloud-like spot on crossvein dm-cu; subcostal cell pale brown apically; four short hairs present at base of
R4 + 5
, costa with 2

(between
R1
and
R2 + 3
), 3

shunhuangshana
in the habitus, mesonotum with acrostichal setulae in ten rows, basal margin of brown apical spot on
R2 + 3
at same vertical level as crossvein dm-cu and tergites 2–5 each with brown posterior margin [see
Chen and Li 2022
: figs 7 B – E], but it can be distinguished from the latter by the following: fore femur with nine posterior dorsal setae, four posterior ventral setae; mid femur with five anterior setae; brown apical spots on
R2 + 3
shorter, as long as 1 / 2 length of ultimate section of M
1
; brown median spot on
R4 + 5
