Milichiella sp. I
Differs from congeners in the combination of slightly shiny ocellar triangle and orbital plates, brown microtomentose mesonotum, scutellum and pleura, 3dc, 1 prsc, tips of tibiae and basitarsi yellow, and T2-5 silvery microtomentose except for tip of T5.
Male coloration and vestiture: frons subshiny black, ocellar triangle and orbital plates slightly shiny, lunule black, basoflagellomere black, face greyish microtomentose, palpus black; thorax with mesonotum brown microtomentose, scutellum and pleura same, wing hyaline, veins brown, brown spot at tip of vein R1 weak, calypter hyaline with brown margin, halter black, legs black except for tips of tibiae and basitarsi; abdomen with T2-5 silvery microtomentose except for tip of T5.
Morphology. Head: frons with 2+0.5 orbital and 2 frontal setae, anterior frontal seta very slightly medioreclinate. In males frons 2.2x as wide at posterior margin than at base of antenna, arista about 5.1x as long as basoflagellomere wide, pubescence on arista very short, posterior eye margin with notch (5oc) and emargination (2oc).
Thorax: 3 dc, 1 prsc, 1 pprn, 1 prs, 2+0.7 keps setae, posterior prsc about as long as posterior dc, seta between posterior prsc and posterior dc present. Wing with vein R4+5 and M1 converging (1.9), and ultimate section of vein M1 3.3x as long as penultimate section. Fore femur normal setulose, tibial organ absent.
Male abdomen: posteromedial triangular projection of T1 into T2 ?. Tergal chaetotaxy: T2 anterolateral corner with mostly 2 lines of setae but triangular extension with more setae, T2-5 posterior margin with 1 row of setulae. S5 1.1x as long as wide, 1.8x as long and 2.5x as wide as S4, roughly circular with posterior margin indented, setulose. Male genitalia with apical seta on cercus longer than epandrial setae, 1 seta on subepandrial plate, surstylus 0.7x as long as epandrium high, bent posteriorly, dilated apically (1.7x), 7.2x as long as wide, structure of lateral surface smooth, medial surface without setulae, some longer sensilla along anterior margin.
Body length: ? mm; wing length: 2.6 mm.
