Flagellomeres mostly bearing short setae, except one row of remarkably long setae around the neck. The 4th flagellomere
0.14 mm
in length, length/ width: 3.5, flagellomere neck
0.08 mm
, nearly 1/2 of the length of the flagellomere.

Terminalia
: Ventral mesial margin of the gonocoxa with two evident groups of setae (
Fig. 1
E). Gonostylus almost as long as gonocoxa, with two megasetae at the middle of the inner side, of unequal length (
Fig. 1
F). Tegmen simple, much broader sub-basally than subapically.
Female
. Unknown.
Remarks.
The species belongs to the subgenus
Pharetratula
. It is similar to the species
Z. flavicornis
Mamaev, 1968
and the species
Z. bidens
in having a pair of megasetae (
Mamaev 1968
), but can be recognized by the gonostylus attenuated at the apex, and two megasetae on a shorter dorsal lobe, of unequal in length.
Etymology.
The species is named after its distinctive megasetae.
