Legs: light yellow to light brown; coxae and trochanters light yellow; pro and mes femora light yellow with 2 transverse light brown bands, met femur mostly light brown, clubbed in distal 1/3, club brown, yellow transverse band at proximal margin of club, scattered brown macrosetae on pro and mes femora, met femur with distinct rows of brown macrosetae; pro and mes tibiae light yellow with 2 light brown transverse bands, met tibia brown with median yellow transverse band, a little more than 2 times as long as width of tibia, all tibiae with yellow to light brown erect macrosetae in rows, pro and mes tibiae with 2 long apical macrosetae, met tibia with 2 apical macrosetae, 1 median sub-distal macroseta, 4 lateral macrosetae along tibia; tarsus light yellow to light brown, proximal tarsomere always longer than 2 following tarsomeres combined, short and long macrosetae on all tarsomeres; pro and mes empodia minute, met empodium 1/4 of median claw; median claw more than half as long as lateral claw.

Wings: length = 3.2–4.6 mm; microtrichia scattered on wing, trichoid spicules short, symmetrical dorsally and ventrally, about 12–20 on M1 between r-m and diversion of M1 and M2; cell d small, terminating in M2 and M3, r-m situated proximal to separation of M3 and CuA1; R1 reaching C well proximal to R5 and M1 joining C, R2+3 straight proximally and smoothly arching posteriad distally; halter light yellow, knob dark brown, length = 0.68–0.86 mm.

Abdomen: Light yellow and brown; T2 length = 2.2–2.8 mm, T2 with yellow transverse band medially and light band sub-distally, T3–5 with yellow anterior margins, T6 entirely yellow, T2 with erect, evenly spaced macrosetae, remaining T with irregularly spaced and longer macrosetae, T7–8 with lateral sensory areas.

Male terminalia: epandrial halves fused medially; epandrium and hypandrium fused proximally; gonocoxite and hypandrium fused to form a gonocoxite-hypandrial complex; Aedeagus: not protruding from hypopygium, very short, prong dorsoventrally fl attened; Female genitalia: spermathecae occupying only segment 8, individual spermathecal ducts long and coiled; spermathecal reservoirs not sclerotized, as wide as individual ducts, forming a coil.
