Pupa. Body length 1.85 mm long (n=2). Head ( Fig.5a View Figure 5 ): each antennal base with a triangular extension anteromedially with a rounded apex and one asetose antennal papilla; cephalic setae 0.14 mm long (n=4) with an adjacent papilla asetose on an elevated lobe; one upper facial papilla on a thickened and slightly sclerotized anterolateral cephalic margin on each side: two lower facial papillae on each side (one setose and the other one asetose) and three lateral facial papillae (one with seta and two asetose) on each side. Thorax: prothoracic spiracle elongated, nearly straight with only a slight medial sinuosity, and trachea reaching the apex, 0.09 mm long (n=4) ( Fig. 5b View Figure 5 ); wing reaching the posterior margin of the third abdominal segment; first and second pairs of legs reaching the midlength and posterior margin of the fifth abdominal segment, respectively, and third pair reaching the sixth abdominal segment.Abdomen ( Fig. 5 View Figure 5 c-d): second to eighth terga with several rows of simple and tiny spines at the proximal one-third; segments two to six with lateral spiracles, approximately one-third the length of the prothoracic spiracle, 0.03 mm long (n=4); second to seventh segments with six dorsal setose papillae in the medial posterior region, one pair of trichoid sensilla in the anterior region, and two closely spaced lateral setose papillae on each side; eighth abdominal segment with one pair of dorsal setose papillae, one pair of trichoid sensilla in the proximal region and one lateral setose papilla on each side.

Anepimeron with 7 setae in male (n=4) and female (n=4), other pleural sclerites bare. Legs: protarsal claw 1-toothed and bend near midlength, meso and meta tarsal claw simple, empodium reaching claw bend ( Figs. 6 View Figure 6 a-b). Wings: 1.26 mm long (measured from the arculus to the apex) and 0.56 mm wide in male (n=3), and 1.27 mm long and 0.51 mm wide in female (n=4), R 5 vein nearly straight and joining C at wing apex, forming a slight break, costal cell infuscated. Abdomen: Second to seventh tergites rectangular, completely sclerotized, with a complete row of posterior setae and several scattered setae in males and females, eighth tergite not sclerotized in both sexes, basal pair of trichoid sensilla present at tergites third to eighth in males and second to eighth in females.Sternites two to seven rectangular and sclerotized, with two rows of setae one posterior and the other one mesally and eighth sternite not sclerotized in both sexes. Male terminalia ( Fig. 6c View Figure 6 ): Gonocoxites oblong, parallel, setulose and medially concave, robust setae scattered ventrally and on the distal half of the dorsal surface, few setae in the medial concavity ( Fig. 6e View Figure 6 ), 0.09 mm long and 0.04 mm wide (n=3); gonostylus clavate, completely covered with microtrichia and a few distal setae, solid apical tooth, 0.05 mm long and 0.01 mm wide (n=4); cerci bilobed with same length as the hypoproct, covered with microtrichia and scattered setae on the apex, lobes rounded with a V-shaped reentrance; hypoproct entire and rounded, completely covered with microtrichia, and ventrally with two longitudinal rows of setae, each with four setae ( Fig. 6d View Figure 6 ); aedeagus cylindrical, with a slightly broader base, shorter than hypoproct and cerci. Ovipositor: 0.12 mm long (from basal margin of segment nine to cerci apex) (n=1), abdominal segment nine with a pair of setae longer than the others dorsally, and another pair laterally in the distal third, sternite nine with numerous scattered setae; cerci elongated, with several scattered setae, 0.05 mm long (n=2); hypoproct elongated, and covered with microtrichia.
