Diagnosis of Centrioncinae .
Updated version of the diagnosis by Feijen (1989) for Centrioncidae . Small (4-7 mm), slender flies; head rounded (Fig. 11 View Figures 9–12 ); eyes not stalked; pedicellus without cleft and in lateral view strongly asymmetrical; funiculus (=first flagellomere) ventrally extended within sagittal plane ~ 1.7 × the width of pedicellus, funiculus with a large basal hollow on dorsal half, into which the strongly asymmetrical pedicellar conus is inserted; tripartite pubescent arista; one pair of outer vertical setae and one pair of fronto-orbital setae; lanceolate basiliform prosternum (Fig. 129 View Figures 126–131 ); supra-alar ridge (carina) present; no pleurotergal spines, three pairs of scutal setae, one pair of scutellar spines with apical setae (Fig. 117 View Figure 117 ), apical setae varying from 20% shorter to 25% longer than spines; costa unbroken, alula present (Figs 1 View Figures 1–4 - 8 View Figures 5–8 ), veins CuA+CuP and M4 reaching margin, impression of crossvein bm-cu visible, wings transparent with or without vague spots; incrassate fore femora with double series of ventral tubercles and spinous setae; slender hind femora with distal set of small tubercles; no apical spurs on mid and hind femora; syntergite consisting of tergites 1 and 2; ♀ segment 7 sclerotised basally in complete ring, ♀ sternite 7 transversely divided, ♀ tergite 8 and sternite 8 each consisting of two sclerites; ♂ tergite 6 half as long as tergite 5, main part of ♂ sternite 7 located on left side, very large inverted ♂ sternite 8 (Fig. 136 View Figures 136–138 ) on both sides fused to sternite 7 which forms a complete ventral band of sclerotisation ( Feijen and Feijen 2021: fig. 38); abdominal spiracles 1-6 in membrane, ♀ 7th spiracles in tergite or not, ♂ left 7th spiracle in laterally located sternite 7 and ♂ right 7th spiracle in ventral band of sclerotisation; three (2 + 1) spermathecae; elongate, striated eggs; articulated three-lobed surstylus with tubercles and often spinous setae; subepandrial sclerite with clasper-like ventral lobes and large mesal plate; membranous ♂ cercus; small phallapodeme with posterior two-thirds fused to hypandrium, hypandrial clasper usually present; postgonites and epiphallus present, phallus a short solid structure with a complex distal section; ejaculatory apodeme + sac present, seminal ducts without distinct reticulated transverse structures.
