This species is easily distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characters: Small shore flies, body length 1.15-1.80 mm. Head: Frons bi- or tricolored, lacking iridescent microtomentum, ocellar triangle largely and fronto-orbits whitish tan to tan, ocellar triangle with anteromedial, narrow, slightly oval darkened area, triangle broadly extended to anterior margin, parafrons grayish charcoal. Antenna largely yellow, only dorsum of basal flagellomere slightly darkened. Face narrowed at midheight, mostly unicolorous, whitish gray to blackish gray except for mediovertical brown vitta; parafacial creamy white. Gena relatively short, gena-to-eye ratio 0.08-0.09. Thorax: Mesonotum with 4 elongate, mostly separated spots (Fig. 69); presutural

Wing conspicuously patterned with distinct brown spots (Fig. 70); vein R2+3 distinctly angulate subapically, apices angled toward costa; at vertex of angle also bearing a stump vein, another stump vein near middle; costal vein ratio 0.76-0.87; M vein ratio 0.66-0.75.
