apically a rather stout fusiform appendage. Palpi, first segment short, roundly quadrate, 
the second a little larger, subquadrate, the third one half longer, more slender and

brown. Scutellum and postscutellum yellowish brown. Abdomen yellowish, wings 
hyaline, halteres yellowish transparent, legs mostly pale straw, claws moderately long, 
stout, strongly curved, the pulvilli longer then the claws. Genitalia; basal clasp 
segment rather long, stout, terminal clasp segment short, stout, swollen basally; 
dorsal plate short, broad, deeply and triangularly emarginate, the lobes tapering to a 
narrowly rounded apex; ventral plate rather long, broad, narrowly rounded apically. 
Female. Length 3 mm. Antennae extending to the sixth abdominal segment, 
sparsely haired, light brown, 14 segments. The 5th with a stem !/, the length of the 
cyclindrical basal enlargement, which latter has a length about 3 times its diameter. 
Terminal segment produced, the basal enlargement with a length 3 times its diameter
