Einfeldia sasai Yamamoto & Yamamoto 2018

Adults:

Male: Wing length 2.34 mm, wing length/width 0.28. VR 1.03.  AR 3.0.
Head, scutal stripes and postnotum brown, scutellum and legs yellow, abdominal tergites I-V with a brown area in the middle of the posterior margin, VI-VIII largely brownish yellow.
Frontal tubercles very small, nearly circular, only 8 µm in diameter.  12 clypeal setae.
Antepronotum slightly separated (Fig. 19, below), without setae.
Thoracic setae: 23 acrostichals; 15-18 dorsocentrals, 5 prealar; 18 scutellar.
Mid Ta2-4 with 23 pseudospurs along the antero-dorsal margin, hind Ta1-4 each with 2 pseudospurs on the apical portion; mid and hind Ta1 with several sensillla chaetica.
TIX appears to have about 19 setae scattered around the midline.
Hypopygium as in Figs 21-22, below; analpoint (Fig. 23, below) relatively broad, not narrowed at the base, with lateral ridges with 3 setae on each side.  Superior volsella (Fig. 24, below) sickle shaped with a very high base, chitinised distal portion arising from outer side of the base; perhaps closest to E(h) type of Strenzke (1959).  Inferior volsella (Figs 21 & 22, below) long, finger-like, slightly expanded distally, shown with 28 recurved simple setae on it.  Gonostylus moderately swollen, reducing markedly over distal quarter.

21 & 22 - dorsal hypopygium; 23 - anal point; 24 - Superior volsella.

Originally identified as E. pagana but Yamamoto and Yamamoto (2018) noted this as a misidentification and re-described it as a new species.  May be separated from E. pagana by the distributional pattern of the temporal setae on vertex, mid-Ta1 bearing many pseudospurs, the lunate gonostylus with dorsal 1/4 constricted, the long slender Inferior volsella and the sickle shaped Superior volsella.
