Remarks
. This black fly lacks a distinct facial carina and a vibrissal fasciculus in the male. The surstylus bears about 40 spines, the hypandrium has a long basal apodeme (2/3 as long as to subequal to length of sidearm) broadened vertically on the basal 1/3, and the distiphallus is covered laterally with the large, weakly chitinized lobes which are provided with about 65 strong spines or spinules on one side; the egg-guides bear a serration of about 30 teeth on each ventral margin (Sasakawa 1963b: fig. 10a–c). Larva is a stem-miner of
Eclipta
and
Siegesbeckia
spp. (
Asteraceae
; Spencer 1990).
