Female (Fig. 5.4). Body length
1.33–2.10 mm
.
Head
: Frons dusky yellow, with 2 pairs of supraantennal setae; length of lower supra-antennal setae less than 1/2 the length of upper pair; upper supra-antennals originate even with lower interfrontal setae. First flagellomere yellow-brown, rounded under arista. Palpus yellow, slightly inflated. Labrum normal sized. Labellum normal sized.
Thorax
: Scutum dusky yellow. Scutellum dusky yellow. Anterior scutellar setae about 3/4 the length of posterior pair. Pleuron yellow; anepisternum with setulae and one large seta. Forefemur yellow. Midfemur yellow.
Hind
femur yellow with brown patch distally on anterior surface. Wing length
1.23–2.31 mm
(Fig. 12.2); costal vein normal; costal length
0.70–1.23 mm
; mean costal ratio 0.55. Knob of halter light brown.

Tergite 6 rectangular to slightly narrowing posteriorly; posterodorsal setae on segment 6 shorter than posteroventral setae. Venter of abdomen with dense, long setae. Oviscape (Figs 18.2, 23.10) sclerites dark brown; tergite strongly downturned at apex; sternite about 1/5 of the length of tergite and with long setae on lateral margins.
