C extending beyond tip of R 5 for about a 1/4 of distance to M 1; sc-r at basal third of cell r1; anterior margin of cell r1 long, more than 4× length of R 4. Gonocoxites with no extension beyond base of gonostylus; gonostylus large, with a dorsal sub-basal digitiform lobe, a line of spines present at inner edge along distal third, three apical strong spines; parameres with three short, pointed projections distally; tergite 9 with a par of distal lobes with a group of short spines directed inward. Description Male. Wing length, 3.05; width, 1.15. Head (Fig. 75A). Brown, lighter on face and clypeus. No setae on frons anteriorly to ocelli. Ocellar setae present. Antennal scape and pedicel light brown, scape 1.6× pedicel length, flagellum light ochre-yellow except for flagellomere 1 cream-yellow, flagellomere 1 1.6× flagellomere 2 length, flagellomere 4 1.6× wider than long. Palpomeres dark brown, last palpomere lighter, palpomere 4 about 1.2× palpomere 3 length, a short distal projection over base of distal one, last palpomere 2.0× length of penultimate palpomere. Labella small, brownish. Thorax. Scutum brown, darker along longitudinal lines; a row of longer dorsocentral setae, some long supra-alars, two pre-scutellar bristles at each lateroposterior corner of scutum, one pair of prescutellars medially at dorsocentral lines. Scutellum brown, with one pair of bristles and some smaller setae on disc. Pleural sclerites whitish with an orangish tinge, antepronotum with a brown mark anteriorly, laterotergite with a brown band along dorsal margin, mediotergite with a brown transverse band on dorsal third. Antepronotum with two strong bristles and smaller setae of different sizes. Halter light brown. Legs. Coxae whitish, mid and hind coxae with a light brown tinge, hind coxa slightly darker; femora yellowish-brown, fore femur lighter; tibiae and tarsi light greyish-brown. Hind tibial spurs 3.5× tibia length at apex. Wing (Fig. 75B). Membrane background light greyish fumose, a brown band across wing at level of origin of Rs and a brown band at distal third of wing beginning at level of base of medial fork, dark brown mark over first sector of Rs and over R 4. Sc complete, reaching C at level of basal fourth of cell r1, sc-r just beyond level of origin of Rs; cell r1 long, anterior margin 4.4× length of R 4. False medial vein conspicuous, sclerotized, sinuous on basal fourth. Medial fork not wide open. M 1+2 4.6× r-m length; bM 8.7× length of first sector of Rs. First sector of CuA 1.1× longer than second sector. M 4 not depressed on distal half. Cubital pseudovein sclerotized, long, ending at distal third of second sector of CuA; CuP weakly sclerotized but produced to level of mid of second sector of CuA. Anal fold faint. Wing margin slightly emarginated at tip of CuA. No ventral macrotrichia on veins, dorsal macrotrichia on entire length of Sc, bR, R 1, second sector of Rs, most of length of M 1, distal third of M 2, distal half of M 4, long distal half of first sector of CuA, and entire length of second sector of CuA. Abdomen (Fig. 75C). Abdominal tergites 1–2 and 7 whitish, with a caramel-brown transverse mark along posterior margin extending medially to anterior margin; tergites 3–4 and 6 with similar pattern, but with an additional slender brown mark along lateral margin; tergite 5 mostly caramel-brown with a small cream-yellow mark on lateroanterior corners. Sternites 1–4 and sternites 6–7 cream-yellow, sternite 5 brown. Terminalia (Fig. 75D, E). Ochre-yellow, cerci lighter. Gonocoxites medially fused, with a short, weak medial suture, a weakly sclerotized medio-posterior process extending towards aedeagus, no lateral projections extending beyond base of gonostylus, entirely devoid of setae, some scattered microtrichia laterally. Gonostylus placed laterally, wide at base, with a dorsal digitiform branch bearing elongate setae distally, a large, elongate ventral branch with fine setae on outer face and a row of strong setae and fine spines distally on ventrodistal margin. Aedeagus tubular anterior half, bearing a pair of short apodemes laterally on anterior end, and a medial sub-rectangular plate extending posteriorly to slightly beyond level of mid of gonostylus. Parameres present as a pair of sub-medial weakly sclerotized laminar projections and a wide plate posteriorly to aedeagus with a medial short beak and a pair of short digitiform lobes on lateroposterior corners. Tergite 9 with a slender medial blade connecting a pair of long projections, each of which bearing a short row of long setae laterally and a group of setae and spines directed inward at distal end. Sternite 10 weakly sclerotized, subquadrate, covered with microtrichia and fine setae. Cerci small, close together, with microtrichia and fine setae, laterally to sternite 10. Female. Unknown. Material examined One male: ZRCBDP 0066766, Bukit Timah, maturing secondary forest (BT09), 22.Sep.16, MIP leg. (slide-mounted; sequence failure). Remarks This is a species recognized based on the morphology of a sequence failure singleton. It is clearly divergent on the male terminalia morphology, but does not have a sequence and, hence, it is not formally named here.
