in the shape of hypandrium, pregonite, and aedeagus (as figs. 10,
11 in
Chen & Chen 2009,
Fig. 36B, C
), but can be distinguished from the latter by
having the surstylus lacking peg-like tooth (Fig. 36A); the aedeagus with numerous minute, serrated processes distally, lacking pubescence (Fig. 36B, C); the subepandrial sclerite slightly squared, concaved anteromedially (Fig. 36D).

Description.
Male: First flagellomere yellow on basal 1/3, black on distal 2/3. Clypeus brown medially, yellow laterally. Mesonotum and scutellum black (
Fig. 8A
). Katepisternum yellowish, brown on anterior corner (
Fig. 8B
). Halter mostly brownish (
Fig. 8B
). Fore femur with a row of 3 long setae on distal part of posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites dark brown (
Fig. 8A, B
); sternites brown, slightly wider than long. Male terminalia (
Fig. 36
): Epandrium with
ca
. 20 setae on dorsal to posterior portions per side (
Fig. 36A
). Surstylus with several setulae and some pubescence distally (
Fig. 36A
). Cercus with much pubescence (
Fig. 36A
). Hypandrium expanded anteromedially (
Fig. 36B, C
). Pregonite fused with hypandrium and small, with 4 sensilla (
Fig. 36B, C
). Aedeagal sheath with some numerous minute, serrated processes distally (
Fig. 36B, C
).
