Diagnosis.
A medium-sized species (wing length 0.76-0.95 mm) of the subgenus Haematomyidium Goeldi, 1905, distinguished by the following combination of characters: Eyes separated by a distance equal to one ommatidia! facet. Antenna! sensillar pattern 3, 8-10; flagellar segment 10 subequal or slightly longer than 11. Third palpal segment short and stout, pit deep and rounded; palpal ratio 2.00-2.60. P /H ratio 0.73-0.85. Mandible with 14-17 teeth. Distal pale spot of cell M1 separated from wing margin for a distance equal to its length; macrotrichia present in anal cell and in basal portion of cell M2. Halter brown. Two ovoid, subequal spermathecae, plus a vestigial third and sclerotized ring.
Ronderos et al., (2010) provided the firtst detailed description of larva and pupa with SEM, BCM and PCM microscopy. They were collected to remove water from tree-holes of Salix in Entre Ríos province.
