Wing length ca. 2.5 mm (female) or 2 mm (male). Y (r-m) apparently with bristles. Thoracal bristlies dark, haltere yellowish with darkened knob. Antennae black. Legs yellowish with tibiae and tarsi somewhat darker. Thorax black and weakly shining. Tarsal claws simple (without indentations). To get an overall impression of the material, I used the Dr.rer.nat. dissertation by Frank Menzel (1999) that's available on-line and had a quick look on the key by Gerbachevskaya.
