Male.
Head.
Flagellomere 4,
Fig. 9A
. Maxillary palpus with palpomere 3 bearing 5 apically expanded curved sensilla; palpomere 4 with parasegment.
Thorax.
Anepisternum setose. Anterior basalare nonsetose. Preepisternum 2 setose. Laterotergite nonsetose. Episternum 3 setose.
Wing
. Length
1.8 mm
. Wing membrane dorsally with few setae at posterior margin. Sc distally of h nonsetose. Setae indicating A1 not observed with certainty.
Hypopygium
(
Figs. 9B
,
10A
). Sternite 9 large, extending posteriorly to halfway along ventral length of gonocoxa, laterally sharply delimited, posterior margin indistinct, medially confluent with more posterior membranous part with transverse straight margin, setae similar to adjacent ventral setae of gonocoxa. Dorsomesial margin of gonocoxa simple, few stronger setae at apicomesial rounded corner, in position III 2 sigmoid or curved simple megasetae arising from common long basal body; gonocoxa apicolaterally with long, tapering, mesially setose, subtriangular lobe that extends posteriorly as far as apex of gonostylus. Gonostylus elongatequadrangular in outline, slightly convex on lateral margin, concave on mesial margin, transversely truncated on apical margin, at apicomesial angle, on margin and on dorsal side group of strong setae arranged in 2 indistinct longitudinal rows (
Fig. 10A
). Parastylar lobe present, directed anteriad, with 4 apical setae. Tegmen short and broad, subtriangular but with marked lateral shoulders. Setae on sternite
10 in
indistinct double row on each half, close to sides of apical part of tegmen.
Female and preimaginal stages unknown.

Manota procera
is similar to
M. transversa
. For the distinguishing characters, see under the latter species.
