Diagnosis

Diagnosis. Autamorphies: lower frons with small triangular silver pruinescent patch along eye halfway between antennae and upper frons; scutellum with sparse brown pruinescence on anterior edge, faint transverse striations; proepimeron silver pruinescent on all but dorsal half where glossy dark brown with only sparse pruinescence; katepisternum silver pruinescent on dorsal quarter, black with sparse silver pruinescence on ventral three-quarters, with long white setae on dorsal half; anepisternum entirely black, glossy; pilose regions of proepimeron and katepisternum forming a white longitudinal stripe; coxae yellow; tibiae light brown to yellow with brown apices; basitarsus of all legs yellow with brown apices; all other tarsomeres blackish brown; arms of ventral apodeme of aedeagal sheath very broad, paddle shaped. Shared characters: entire frons covered with pale brown setae longer than scape, setae slightly shorter on ocellar triangle only; frons of male wider on ocellar triangle; scutum with white anteromedial patch separating into 2 dorsocentral white stripes extending distally halfway to transverse suture, 2 dorsocentral white stripes extending distally halfway to transverse sutureextending distally halfway to transverse suture, 2 dorsocentral white spots on transverse suture, scutum entirely white dorsolaterally and distally, well defined dorsocentral white stripes extending from posterior of scutum anteriorly halfway to transverse suture, female with 2 dorsocentral white stripes extending entire length of scutum; anepimeron glossy brown; katatergite glossy brown; gonocoxal apodemes and aedeagus extremely long.
