SUMMARY
A shining brown species which could readily be mistaken for an acalyptrate belonging to a family like Psilidae. The whole body is shining brown with the third antennal segment, proboscis, tarsi and upper part of the occiput darkened. All tergites have a darkened hind marginal band. Palps rather long, very thin and cylindrical. Both the male genital capsule and the female ovipositor are large and conspicuous. Wing length: ♂ 3.3 - 3.9 - 4.4 mm (5); ♀ 3.6 - 4.3 - 4.7 mm (23).
