Redescription
. Male.
Head
. Face brown, antenna dark brown maxillary palpus pale yellowish. Eye bridge 2–3 facets wide. Face with 15–21 setae. Clypeus with 1–4 setae. Maxillary palpus with 3 segments, 1
st
segment as long as or longer than 3
rd
segment, 2
nd
segment shortest; 1
st
segment with 3–9 setae, with dorsal patch of sensilla; surface of antennal flagellomeres smooth, body of 4
th
antennal flagellomere 1.95–2.75x as long as wide, the neck shorter than broad, the longest setae shorter than the width of flagellomere.
Thorax
. Dark brown, setae pale. Anterior pronotum with 5–11 setae. Proepisternum with 7–24 setae. Scutellum with 4 longer and some short and fine setae.
Wing
. Fumose. Length
2.2–3.1 mm
. Width/length 0.35–0.40. Anal lobe weak. Veins distinct. c/w 0.50–0.60. R
1
/R 0.50–0.90. stM shorter than fork of M. r-m longer than bM, bM non-setose, r-m non-setose or with 1–2 setae. Halter yellow.
Legs
. Yellow, coxal setae pale. Fore tibial organ forming a large patch in shallow depression. Fore tibial spur as long as the tibial width.
Abdomen
. Pale brown, setae pale, short and fine.
Hypopygium
(
Fig. 10 B
). Brown, as abdomen. Intergonocoxal area long, with two short setose lobes. Gonocoxa broad, as long as gonostylus, medial margin basally smoothly curved, with short and fine setosity. Gonostylus (
Fig. 10 A
) voluminous, apically truncate, impressed; with short setosity, a short apical tooth, and numerous megasetae in the medial impression; megasetae slightly curved or straight, short and slender; with 1 well-differentiated whiplash seta basally at ventromedial margin. Tegmen (
Fig. 17 D
) longer than broad, laterally straight, apically with a narrow hyalinous acuminate process, weakly sclerotized, aedeagal teeth not detectable in the specimens studied. Aedeagal apodeme long.
BIN
. BOLD:ACK5495.
Discussion
. In
Fig. 10 A
the gonostylus is flattened and distorted to show the arrangement of the megasetae. In its extremely voluminous gonostylus,
Trichocoelina janetscheki
(
Lengersdorf, 1953
)
resembles most
T. incrassata
sp. n.
, for distinguishing characters, see under the latter.
