Description
. Large species.
Male.
Head.
Antenna with fourth flagellomere 1.9 times as long as wide. Maxillary palpus with third palpomere bearing 3 curved sensilla; fourth palpomere with a parasegment apically.
Thorax.
Anterior basalare and laterotergite each bare. Episternum 3 with ventral portion setose.
Wing.
Length
2.2–2.6 mm
. Membrane with a few setae along posterior margin. Sc usually bare, occasionally with 1 seta ventrally. CuAfork complete. Presence of A1 occasionally indicated by 2 or so setae in line between CuA and A2.
Terminalia
(
Fig. 14
). Sternite 9 with only posterior margin distinct; margin emarginate medially, situated below mid length of gonocoxites. Ventrolateral lobes of gonocoxites subrectangular; interiorly with 1 strong, curved seta on a separate rim. Distolateral lobes of gonocoxites large, bilobed; on dorsal lobe with large, straight setae pointing posteriorly; on ventral lobe with smaller, curly setae pointing inwards. Gonocoxites in position I with 1 large megaseta hooklike apically; in position II with 4 blunt megasetae on lobe; in position III with 2 flat megasetae with one megaseta pointed and the other blunt; in position IV with 1 flat, spoonshaped megaseta. Gonostyli small, flat; ventroapically with 1 large and 1 smaller setae, followed dorsally by 3 curved and 1 straight setae, most dorsally with 1 seta strongly recurved. Parastylar lobes hidden behind gonostyli, large, very weak; each with a marginal comb of some 15 trichia (not illustrated). Tegmen long and narrow, almost evenly tapering to tip. Hypoproct rounded apically; with long setae laterally.
Diagnostic characters
. Among the species with both anterior basalare and laterotergites bare, it has the terminalia with gonocoxites bearing a quite distinct set of megasetae in positions I to IV, including 1 peculiar hooked megaseta in position I.
Etymology
. From Latin,
montivagus
, mountainroaming, referring to the occurrence of this species in highaltitude mountains.
