Coenosia macrochaeta (Emden, 1940: 225)

Holotype male seen; in good condition.

Diagnosis. General colour brown; postpronotum grey dusted; frons velvety dark; face and parafacial silver; frons subparallel in its middle part, diverging to vertex, uniformly dusted; postpedicel short, about 1.6 times the length of pedicel; arista with short hairs only on basal half; palpus brown; haltere yellow; scutellum with four strong setae and without setulae on disc; anterior katepisternal short, lower one about half the length of the long posterior one; upper calypter very short; lower calypter about 2.8 times as long as upper one, strongly projecting beyond it; legs entirely black; hind tibia with an anterior and a very long anterodorsal seta.

Notes. Included in the niveifrons group. In the original description, the long anterodorsal seta on hind tibia is mistakenly called posterodorsal. Only one female paratype.
