This species is distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characters: Small shore flies, body length 1.65-1.90 mm. Head: Antenna mostly dark gray; parafacial silvery white, concolorous with facial coloration; gena-to-eye ratio 0.21-0.23. Thorax: Wing with costal vein ratio 0.69-0.71; M vein ratio 0.49-0.52. Forecoxa yellowish to tan; forefemur lacking a distinctive, comb-like row of stout setulae along anteroventral surface; tibiae mostly gray. Abdomen: Tergites 3-4 with distinct, deep, wedge-like marking laterally but tergites 2-4 with wide medial area extensively dark slate gray to black; tergite 5 light gray to silvery gray with undifferentiated posterior margin, uniformly colored (Fig. 142); medial coloration on tergites 1-4 narrow, sometimes only a stripe, slightly darker than color of lateral margins. Male terminalia (Figs 77-80): Combined structures generally elongate, in posterior view height nearly 2.5

width; epandrium (Fig. 77) with dorsal arch above cerci attenuate, not connected, dorsal 1/3-1/2 somewhat quadrate with angles rounded, ventral portion as 2 digitiform, thick, abutting, parallel lobes that connect subapically for a short distance, ventral margin concave with a medial, narrow incision, dorsal half bearing longer setulae than ventrally, ventral setulae lacking on apical portion, in lateral view (Fig. 78) mostly parallel sided and nearly straight, apical 1/8 angled anteroventrally as a tapered, narrowly pointed apex; cerci relatively very short, in lateral view (Fig. 77) height about twice width, narrowly semicircular, attached to epandrium ventrally; aedeagus in lateral view (Fig. 80) elongate, with length of sclerotized portion about 8
