Thorax. Scutum greyish tan with brown markings, numerous erect, elongate black setae (shorter in female), narrow medial vitta, lateral vittae tessellate, macrosetae black; scutal chaetotaxy: np, 4; sa, 1; pa, 1; dc, 6–8; sc, 2; scutellum light brown, dark brown anteromedially; prosternum without setae in medial furrow (sometimes a few setae present); pleuron with dense grey pubescence suffused with brown, few black setae on anepisternum and katepisternum, katatergite with admixed pale and dark setae; lateral lobe of cervical sclerite with 1–3 black macrosetae; coxae overlain with silver-grey pubescence admixed with numerous black macrosetae, mid- and hind coxa without setae on posterior surface; femora uniform dark yellow, suffused with dark brown (male), extensive short black setae, admixed with longer setae (male), hind femur with single subapical anteroventral macroseta; tibiae dark yellow; tarsi dark yellow with apices darker; wing uniform smoky infuscate, venation dark, costal margin setae scattered, not in rows, costal cell brown infuscate; haltere brown. Abdomen. Dark brown, overlain with yellowish pubescence (denser in male), segments lighter along posterior margins; sternite 1 with tuft of erect setae medially; male without silver velutum on tergites, male vestiture mostly dark setae, elongate laterally, paler ventrally on anterior sternites; female with uniform short black setae; tergite 2 with patch of short modified setae posteromedially; terminalia dark yellow. Male terminalia. Epandrium sub quadrangular, emarginate anteriorly; numerous elongate black macrosetae on epandrium and gonocoxites; outer gonocoxal process relatively elongate, narrow distally; phallus with dorsal apodeme of parameral sheath subtriangular; ejaculatory apodeme narrow. Female terminalia. As per genus description. Etymology. The species epithet is an adjective derived from the Latin, glaucus— greyish; referring to the brown to grey pubescence of the pleuron. Comments. Entesia glauca sp. n. is known from relatively few collections in coastal central Chile, frequently associated with dune vegetation. This yellowish-tan species is distinguished by the numerous dark macrosetae and smoky infuscate wings. This species is one of the few therevids with a medial tuft of erect setae on abdominal sternite 1 (along with E. pallidiventroides sp. n. and E. notabilis).
