,

)
Diagnosis. This species is similar to
Agenamyia timida
de Carvalho, Wolff & Fogaça
sp. nov.
in general appearance. Tarsi are blackish, with 2–3 yellowish fore tarsus segments.
Measurements (n=3): body length =
3.8–4.1 mm
. Wing length =
3.5–3.8 mm
.
Redescription. Head. Male. Light brown fronto-orbital plate with 6–7 setulae. Light brown frontal vitta. Light brown parafacial and with silver pruinosity. Dark brown palpus with a lighter base. Dark brown antennae and lighter pedicels. Light brown arista.
Thorax. Dark brown mesonotum, without stripes. Dorsocentral 1+3, first postsutural 1/4 smaller than the third Two postsutural intra-alar setae, the posterior weak. Anterior katepisternal seta were very similar to background setulae.

, paratype male: (A) habitus, lateral; (B) head, frontal; (C) habitus, dorsal; (D) female, habitus, lateral. Scale bars: (A, C) 1 mm, (B) 500 µm, (D) 2 mm.
Wings. Clear. Whitish calypteres.
Legs. Yellowish with apical femora and blackish tibia. Fore tibia with a row of
pv
setae in apical third. Hind femur on
av
with three apical setae. Hind tibia with 2–3 apical
av
setae.
Abdomen. Syntergite 1+2 conspicuously yellowish.
Terminalia (
de Carvalho & Couri, 1992: 23
,
Figs. 1–3
). The cercus is divided into two parts, much longer than wide, with a parallel apex and setulae at the base. Surstylus much shorter than the cercus.
Female. Measurements (n=3). Body length =
4.1–4.4 mm
. Wing length = 3.5–4.0 mm.
Similar to males. Anterior katepisternal similar to posterior ventral katepisternal. Legs distinctly light brown. Hind femur with two
av
setae in apical half (median one found in males is lacking). Abdomen with tergite 3 less conspicuously yellowish.
Ovipositor (
de Carvalho & Couri, 1992: 23
,
Figs. 5–7
). Tergite 6 is divided longitudinally, and tergites 7 and 8 are large and divided longitudinally. Sternites 6 and 7 are undivided and covered with a few setulae; sternite 8 is divided, reduced, and covered with a few setulae. Epiproct has one pair of strong setae. Large, very setulose hypoproct. Three spermathecae.
