): body
5.2 mm
, wing
5.4 mm
; thorax
2.2 mm
, abdomen
2.3 mm
.
Head:
Face with dense silvery-white pruinosity, ratio narrowest distance between eyes to distance between ocellar setae = 7; ratio height of face and clypeus to narrowest distance between eyes = 3.3; palpus dark with silvery-white pruinosity and brown hairs; antenna dark brown; scape about twice as long as pedicel; pedicel about as long as high; first flagellomere ovate and about as long as high; arista dorsal, bare; frons with dark brown pruinosity above antennae and with silvery-white maculation along eye margins; vertex black with white pruinosity ventrally; pair of relatively short ocellar setae present; upper postoculars short and uniseriate, lower long, white and multiseriate.
Thorax:
Metallic green ground color of mesonotum mostly covered with dense black pruinosity, and with silverywhite pruinosity on area of anterior dc and on postpronotum; acrostichal setae absent; 6 dc present decreasing in size anteriad, posteriormost very weak; scutellum with pair of strong marginal setae, and without smaller additional setae; pleuron mostly covered with dense grayish pruinosity; propleuron with fine hairs.
Legs:
All legs including coxae dark, femora with dense grey pruinosity, trochanters partially yellow; CI with vertical row of long pale hairs; FI with dense long pale hairs along anterior side (
MSSC
); TI and It1-4 with ventral pile; TI with some very weak dorsal setae; FII with short spine-like av setae on basal half (
MSSC
), and row of short pv hairs along entire length (
MSSC
); TII with weak ad seta at about 1/2; IIt1 with ventral pile;
FIII
with ventral row of short spine-like setae along entire length (
MSSC
);
TIII
strongly swollen, about 2.5 times as wide as
FIII
, with dense short hairs (
MSSC
). All claws well developed, pulvilli absent. Relative podomere ratios: I: 52:43:29:7:5:4:9; II: 62:63:42:11:5:3:12; III: 65:103:26:21:10:5:8.
Wing:
With brownish tinge; R4+5 curved posteriad before wing apex; cross-vein dm-cu parallel to posterior wing margin and shorter than distal section of M (
Fig. 1
A); RMx ratio: 2.0; CuAx ratio: 5.5; lower calypter pale yellow with fan of yellow setae; halter stem brown, knob yellow.
Abdomen:
Metallic green, with brown pruinosity dorsally, and grey pruinosity ventrally; hairs and setae black; sternum 4 forming hood and partially enclosing hypopygium, with apical row of minute spine-like setae. Male genitalia (
Fig. 2
): lateral epandrial lobe narrow, with 1 apical seta; median epandrial lobe short and curved apically; Vsur with 1 recurved seta; Dsur strongly curved, with two arms, lateral arm with 1 strong flattened seta, median arm with 1 flattened and 2 normal setae; cercus broadened apically, with long curved dorsal setae.
Female:
Similar to male, but face broader, with yellowish-brown pruinosity on face and on clypeus, its extension variable.
