Lengths and proportions of legs as in Table 2.

Female (n=1). Total length 3.5 mm.

Coloration. Similar to male. Seminal capsules brown.

Head. Temporals 15. Antenna with terminal flagellomere longer than preceding 2 flagellomeres together; AR 0.23. Clypeus with 32 setae. Lengths of palpomeres 1–5 (μm): 65, 110, 150, 165, 275; Pm 4 / Pm 3 1.1, Pm 5 / Pm 4 1.7.

Thorax. Aps 4. ScuT absent. Ac 46, Dc 24, H 12, Su 1, Pa 10, As II 0, Pes 3. Scutellum with 13 large apical setae and 6 small anterior setae.

Wing. Length 3.0 mm. VR 0.91. Squama with 22 setae.

Legs. Ti I spur 55 μm long, with 7 lateral teeth. Ti II spurs 65 and 50 μm long, with 7 and 6 lateral teeth, re- spectively; inner spur 1.3 times as long as outer spur. Ti III spurs 60 and 50μm long, with 6 and 4 lateral teeth, respectively; inner spur 1.2 times as long as outer spur. Ti III comb with 7 bristles. Lengths and proportions of legs as in Table 2.

Genitalia (Fig. 2C). Sternite VIII with about 30 setae on each side. Notum 160 μm long. Segment X with 3 lateral setae. Labium with apical microtrichia. Seminal capsules 60 μm long, 1.1 times as long as broad.

Pupa and larva. Unknown.

Remarks. The male resembles that of Amnihayesomyia dartofi in the plain wing, the second palpomere without robust setae, and the eye bridge distinctly concaved in the ventral border. However, both the males are distinct in the leg coloration. In the former, the femora are dark brown on the apical half and the tibiae are entirely dark brown, while in the latter, the femora are entirely pale yellow, and the tibiae are brown on the apex (Murray 1976).
