Head with eye densely covered with long hairs. Frons of male at most one-fourth eye width in dorsal view, parafacial bare or hairy; proclinate orbital setae absent in male or with two proclinate orbital setae in female. Ocellar setae developed, proclinate. Lower margin of face usually not visible in profile. Facial ridge with setae on lower half or less. Hairs or setulae on posteroventral half of head all black, without pale hairs. Pedicel and basal half of postpedicel dark brown or reddish-yellow, postpedicel less than two times as long as pedicel. Arista thickened on basal one-fourth or less, first aristomere distinctly shorter, arista bare or short pubescent, the longest hairs longer than basal diameter of arista or plumose. Palpus dark brown or at least reddish-yellow at apex. Thorax with scutum before suture without dark stripes, 2-3 presutural and 3-4 postsutural dorsocentral setae and 2 or 3 postsutural intra-alar setae. Scutellum usually black, at most reddish-yellow at apical half, with three or more pairs of marginal setae, with strongly crossed apical scutellar setae, but weaker than subapical scutellar setae, lateral scutellar setae absent or present. Prosternum and proepisternum bare. Postpronotal lobe with 2 or 3 setae, arranged in a straight line. Katepisternum with 2 or 3 setae, anepimeral seta well-developed, anatergite almost always with a group of minute hairs or setulae below lower calypter. Basicosta dark brown or reddish-yellow. Second costal section of wing with fine hairs ventrally. Only base of vein R4+5 with hairs. Wing cell r4+5 open or with a very short petiole, bend of vein M without continuation or with a very short stub. Dorsal surface of lower calypter bare, divergent from scutellum or not divergent from scutellum. Legs usually black, sometimes reddish-yellow. Inner anterior surface of fore coxa bare or predominantly bare. Mid-tibia with 1 or 2-5 anterodorsal setae, hind tibia with 2 or 3 pre-apical dorsal setae. Pre-apical posteroventral seta on hind tibia distinctly shorter than pre-apical anteroventral seta. Abdomen black, syntergite 1+2 medially excavated to its hind margin or not, without or with 2 median marginal setae, 3rd tergite with 2 or a row of median marginal and 2 (weak) median discal setae in male and absent in female and 1-3 pairs of lateral discal setae, 4th tergite with a row of marginal, 2 to a row of discal setae in male and 2 setae in female or 3rd and 4th tergites without median discal setae in both sexes. 5th tergite with a row of or two rows of median discal and a row of marginal setae. Male terminalia very long, middle part of cerci narrowed and pointed, surstyli more or less narrowed. Diagnosis Eye densely covered with long hairs, ocellar setae developed, proclinate, hairs or setulae on posteroventral half of head all black, without pale hairs. Antenna with postpedicel at most two times as long as pedicel, arista thickened on basal one-fourth or less. Body black, prosternum bare, scutellum with strong crossed apical setae, anepimeral seta well-developed, anatergite almost always with a group of minute hairs or setulae below lower calypter. Second costal section of wing with fine hairs ventrally. Pre-apical posteroventral seta on hind tibia distinctly shorter than pre-apical anteroventral seta.
