Head : Frons brown, with 2 pairs of supraantennal setae; length of lower supra-antennal setae less than 1/2 of the length of upper pair; upper supra-antennals originate even with lower interfrontal setae. First flagellomere brown, rounded under arista. Palpus yellow, normal sized. Labrum prominent, enlarged. Labellum normal sized. Thorax : Scutum light brown. Scutellum light brown. Anterior scutellar setae less than 1/2 length of posterior pair. Pleuron dusky yellow; anepisternum bare. Forefemur dusky yellow. Midfemur dusky yellow. Hind femur dusky yellow. Wing length 1.40–2.21 mm (Fig. 14.1); costal vein normal; costal length 0.84–1.33 mm ; mean costal ratio 0.60. Knob of halter light brown. Abdomen : Tergites 1 and 2 brown; tergite 2 with strong, distinct setae on lateral margin. Tergite 5 brown; posterior setae on tergite 5 short. Tergite 6 greatly narrowed posteriorly; posterodorsal setae on segment 6 of equal length to posteroventral setae. Venter of abdomen with sparse, long setae. Oviscape (Fig. 19.11) sclerites dark brown; membrane brown; weakly laterally compressed to nearly tube-like; sclerites dull. Distribution. Costa Rica to Bolivia . Host. Unknown. Etymology.
