Diagnosis.
This species resembles
S

(
S

fusca
sp. nov.
in the small body size (BL ranged from
2.12–2.39 mm
in measured specimens) and the relatively light body color (
Figs. 7E, 7F
,
8I, 8J
), but can be distinguished from the latter by having the cercus with much pubescence (
Fig. 34A
); the aedeagus dramatically expanded distally, lacking pubescence (
Fig. 34C, D
).

Description.
Male: First flagellomere black. Clypeus yellow. Mesonotum and scutellum brownish yellow (
Fig. 7E, F
). Katepisternum yellow (
Fig. 7F
). Halter mostly yellow, with a brownish patch at knob (
Fig. 7E
). Fore femur with a row of 3 long setae on distal part of posteroventral surface. Abdominal tergites brown medially, brownish near distal margin (
Fig. 34A, B
). Hypandrium roundly expanded anteromedially (
Fig. 34C, D
). Pregonite with 7 sensilla (
Fig. 34C, D
). Aedeagal sheath distally dorsad curved (
Fig. 34E, F
). Subepandrial sclerite slightly vaulted, broadened distally (
Fig. 34G
).
