. Body color light brown. Frons with numerous medium-sized setae, making recognition of typical phorid setation difficult, but recognizable are one pair of divergent, proclinate supraantennal setae, slightly medioclinate ventral and dorsal interfrontal setae, pair of postocellar setae, and inner vertical setae, but many additional near-bristle-sized setae are found on the frons and vertex. Eye greatly reduced. Posterolateral head ridge present. Thorax highly modified, reduced. Proepisternum relatively large, with several uniform setae. Posterior portion of anepisternum present; anterior portion almost completely absent; both without setae. Mesopleural suture nearly completely fused, minor sclerites around wing base absent or fused. Anepimeron quadrate, with three large setae. Katepisternum greatly elongate, protruding moderately into dorsal sclerites, with several widely spaced setae. Posterior to katepisternum, dorsal to midcoxa and hind coxa, with rounded, short sclerite, potentially composed of meron plus some other ventral sclerites. Posterior spiracle in large sclerotized area, probably composed of sclerites, plus sclerotization of usual membrane surrounding spiracle. Hind coxa with scattered long setae. Scutum with long, sparse setae. Scutellum short, posteriorly truncate, without setae. Wing reduced to long rudiment. Halter absent. Legs elongate, cylindrical, sparsely setose. Abdomen white; with sparse setae and reduced tergites. Tergite 2 elongate, narrow, tergite 4 fused to sclerotized gland opening. Segments 34 dorsally short, 5 anteriorly protruding. Segment 6 long; abdomen posterior to segment 6 extremely short, with only the U-shaped sclerite with long anterior arms (
