Discussion.
We examined a single small, yellowish brown female specimen in the subgenus
Stilobezzia
. The head and flagellomeres are brown and the eyes are narrowly separated. The thorax is bright yellowish brown, the scutellum has two mesal and two lateral stout setae, and the legs are brown. The wing membrane is hyaline and the first radial cell is small. The abdomen is pale yellowish and has one well developed, sclerotized spermatheca with hyaline punctuations and two other rudimentary spermathecae. Because males in the genus
Stilobezzia
usually exhibit important, species specific characters in their genitalia, we are reluctant to name this species.
