Redescription. Holotype male. Measurements: body 17 mm ; wing 13 mm . Head: face covered by golden pruinose, flat in middle, prominent at subcranial margin and antennal base ( Fig. 10 ); mystacal setae yellow; frons golden pruinose, triangular black spot centrally; tuft of black setae above insertion of each antenna; orbital setae black; ocellar callus black with sparse golden yellow pruinose and black setae; postocular setae thick and yellow, occiput golden pruinose, ocellar callus black posteriorly, occipital setae yellow; palpus ( Fig. 1 ) brown, yellow setose; proboscis brown, darker apically, yellow setae ventrally; lower occipital setae yellow; scape and pedicel reddish, setae black, postpedicel dark, basal half black setose dorsally (Figure 4c). Thorax: second cervical sclerite black, golden yellow pruinose with thin yellow setae; pronotum black, yellow pruinose laterally, anterior margin of antepronotum with thick and thin yellow setae; postpronotum with thick and thin yellow setae laterally; proepisternum yellow pruinose with thin yellow setae; postpronotal lobe reddish, yellow setose; three notopleural, two supra-alar and four postalar setae, all black; scutum black, yellow pruinose laterally; dorsocentral setae on same line of postpronotal lobe; scutellum black, sparse yellow pruinose dorsally, margin with thin yellow setae and two black setae; pleura yellow pruinose, except katepisternum, gray on ventral portion, and anepisternum, black in middle, both with yellow setae. Legs: coxae black, gray pruinose, yellow setose, abundant on fore coxae; femora reddish, mid and hind femora slightly darker, short, black setae dorsally short and yellow setae ventrally; tibiae yellowish, black pruinose, black setose, except fore and hind tibiae yellow pruinose ventrally; first tarsomere yellowish, remaining brown, all black setose. Wing: slightly darkened; alula hyaline; halter brown ( Fig. 7 ). Abdomen: conical, black with posterior margin of tergites yellow, tergites 7 and 8 with posterior half reddish; tergite 1 white pruinose on posterior margin, laterally with long and short yellow setae; tergites 2 and 3 with yellow triangular pruinose, patch larger on tergite 2, bearing short yellow seta; tergite 4 laterally with small white pruinose patch; tergites 4–8 covered with short black setae; sternites black with sparse white and thin yellow setae; terminalia black glossy with black setae and some yellow setae on cerci. Terminalia: not studied. Male: Unknown. Variation. The paratype has reddish-yellow legs except brown on the last three tarsomeres of the fore legs and all tarsomeres of the mid and hind legs; abdominal tergites 1–3 without white pruinose patches laterally. Comments. Neodiogmites lanei can be easily distinguished from the others species of Neodiogmites by the pronounced base of the antennae, a characteristic that is not found in any other species of the genus.
