By my count 6 pairs dc, 1 pair scutellars, arista dorsal, no preapical on mid or hind femur. Doesn't fit well into Bickel's 1994 key based on visible characters. Maybe an anomalous
Chrysosoma without the distinctive antenna of most species.

In America the legs of
Amblypsilopus are nearly bare, except a few small hairs in females. Is that character not constant around the world?
