Diagnosis.
This species has been adequately described by
Drew et al. (1998)
and
Drew and Romig (2013)
except for postabdominal structures. A male of the fly collected from Meghalaya was dissected to study the postabdominal structures. Epandrium deeply sclerotised, black, lateral surstylus with posterior lobe slightly longer (2-3
x
) than anterior lobe; epandrium bulbous (in posterior view), glans of phallus elongate (0.7 mm) with patterned aculeus.
