Diagnosis
The species is distinguished from congeners by the overall black coloration, the predominantly black setae, and the densely arranged microtrichia in the discal cell.
Description
Head. Black; face brown pruinose, facial swelling indistinct, mystax black with a few white setae laterally, more than 10 macrosetae; proboscis and palpi black, setae black; occiput brown pruinose laterally and grey pruinose medially, setae black. Antennae, scape black, black setae ventrally, apruinose; pedicel black, brown setae dorsally and ventrally, grey pruinose; postpedicel brown, grey pruinose; stylus brown, as long as postpedicel; apical ‘seta-like’ sensory element hyaline or brown.
Thorax. Black, brown pruinose except for scutum and scutellum, anepisternum and katepisternum setae black; scutum black, sometimes red anterolaterally and anteromedially, predominantly apruinose, margins grey pruinose, surface covered with long white setae, white and brown setae on pruinose part; macrosetae: brown, one or two supra-alar setae; scutellum grey pruinose, discal scutellar and scutellar setae long, brown. Legs, dark brown; coxa brown pruinose; prothoracic and mesothoracic femora with erect black setae anteriorly and dorsally, metathoracic femora with erect black setae on all surfaces, clubbed and widest sub-distally; tibiae erect black setae on all surfaces, prothoracic tibiae with yellow cleaning setae in distal two-thirds ventrally, metathoracic tibiae with yellow setae disto-ventrally; tarsomeres with black setae, first metathoracic tarsomere with yellow setae posteroventrally; empodium two-thirds to nearly length of claw. Wings, length = 7.3–10.0 mm; cell d densely covered with microtrichia, wing pattern Fig. 16 View Figs 11 – 16 ; halter brown.
Abdomen. Black; T brown pruinose anteriorly and grey pruinose posteriorly, T 2 in proximal half with long brown setae laterally, remaining T with short white setae, S 2 in proximal half apruinose and in distal half grey pruinose, S3–4 grey pruinose, S5–8 brown pruinose.

Type locality, distribution and biodiversity hotspots ( Fig. 23 View Fig. 23 ). The original type locality is Caffraria, South Africa. The type specimens were collected by Wahlberg, who travelled primarily in eastern South Africa and northern Botswana ( Usher 1972). Following recommendation 76 A.1.4. of the ICZN a new type locality is selected from within the range of the species. I hereby designate Doorndrai Dam Nature Reserve, Limpopo Province, South Africa, 24°11’S 028°26’E, which is close to Wahlberg’s route and in which the species has been recently collected, as type locality. Botswana, South Africa, Swaziland, Zimbabwe. Eastern Afromontane, Maputaland–Pondoland–Albany.
