D i f f e r e n t i a l d i a g n o s i s: Similar to A. dispar Villeneuve, 1916 by the structure of hind tarsi and head proportions, differing by the absence of vte , undeveloped oral setae, elongate postpedicel, yellow fore tarsi and partial reduction of abdominal pattern. M a l e. Body length 5.0 mm. — Head ( figs 5 , b–d). Head densely silvery white pollinose, frontal vitta light yellow, almost without dusting, occiput and gena light grey pollinose, antenna and palp yellow, apex of arista fuscous. Frons at vertex 0.36×, at level of antennal base 0.35× head-width. Frontal vitta 1.5× widened backwards, at level of fore orb equal in length to parafrontalia. Postpedicel 3,7× as long as pedicel, arista widened in basal 2/3. Parafacialia at level of antennal base 0.22×, gena 0.11× eye-height. Palp at apex widened. oc fine, seta-like; vte absent; orb 1+2–3, medium long; fr 7–8, long and fine; parafrontalia and parafacialia with microscopic light setae; gena with erect yellow setae; only one pair of vi present; oral setae absent. — Thorax ( fig. 5 , a) covered with long black setae, light grey pollinose, longitudinal stripes of mesonotum poorly developed; tip of scutellum yellowish; acr 0+1; dc 0+1; ia 1+1; pprn 2; npl 2 (with several setulae); kepst 1+1. Scutellum with 3 pairs of long and strong marg ; ds seta-like. — Wing ( figs 5 a, f ) hyaline. Petiolus of vein R 4+5 0.5× as long as r-m , vein R 4+5 with one basal seta, vein M right-angled, dm-cu s -like curved. — Legs ( figs 5 , a, e). All femora grey pollinose, in distal parts yellow, tibia yellow, t 1 and t 3 exteriorly grey pollinose, fore tarsi yellow, other tarsi entirely dark brown. First tarsomere of hind tarsus widened, with ctenidium of short and thick ventral spine-like setae. t 2 with one ad . — Abdomen ( fig. 5 , f) densely light yellowish grey pollinose, pattern partly reduced; 1+2 nd tergite anteriorly fuscous; 3 rd tergite with a mark of dark median spot in hind 0.4 and paired shining yellowish brown lateral stripes; 4 th tergite in hind 0.3 with black median spot and paired lateral stripes, the distance between spot and stripes more than diameter of spot; 5 th tergite with black median spot in hind 0.5 and paired lateral stripes in hind 0.6–0.7; 6 th tergite with small shining black median spot. 1+2 nd and 3 rd abdominal tergites without medio-marginal setae. Terminalia black, light pollinose. Figs 3–4.
