Abdomen. Mostly brownish tomentose, tergite 1 entirely and tergites 2–8 grey tomentose on lateral margins; posterior margins of tergites 2–8 white tomentose. Ground colour of tergites 5–8 noticeably more brownish orange than tergites 1–4. Sternite 2 with long, erect setae scattered over most of surface. Sternites 4–8 with subapical bristles on posterior margin. Posterolateral margins of tergites 2–6 with 2 or 3 pale bristles; posterior margin of tergites 2–8 with black bristles, the posterior bristles of tergites 7 and 8 not distinguishable from those on the posterolateral margin. Terminalia (Figs 101–103). Brown-orange, epandrium with a uniform covering of black setae, pale along posterior margin. Tergite 8 and sternite 8 with stout, black bristles on posterior margin. Epandrium (Figs 101, 102) very large and concealing the gonocoxite; dorsally with a small, rounded posterior lobe, basally with a ventral extension covering the gonocoxite and extending posteriorly to form a small, blade-like appendage; gonostylus very long, bowed about middle, extending posteriorly beyond cerci; ventral margin with dense short bristles. Hypandrium (Fig. 103) short, triangular with a broad base and basally fused to gonocoxite; with black setae longest and stoutest distally.</p><p>Female. Differs from male as follows: Body length, 5.7–6.4 mm; thoracic length, 1.3–1.5 mm; wing length, 4.0– 4.5 mm. Abdomen. Segment 8 shining brown-orange, tergite 8 becoming black basally. Terminalia (Figs 104–109). Tergite 8 (Fig. 109) about twice as wide as long; posterior margin rounded with a concave medial area; anterior margin slightly concave; posterior margin with 8–10 stout, black bristles. Sternite 8 (Fig. 108) about as long as wide and with a small, medial carina on posterior margin; with a posterolateral indentation bearing a stout, black bristle; a subcircular pale area laterally near middle of length. Tergite 9+10 (Fig. 106), if present, reduced to 2 small sclerites proximally to anterior margin of hypoproct. Genital fork (Fig. 107) lateral arms narrow and with narrow anterior apodeme. Cerci (Figs 104–105) ovoid and about as long as hypoproct. Hypoproct (Fig. 106) fused and with an anterior cleft and a rounded indent on posterior margin; setae on ventral surface with large basal sockets.</p><p>Etymology. From rad (L), in radium, and amnis (L), ‘stream of water’, after the type locality. Distribution (Fig. 4). Known only from the type locality in Kakadu National Park, NT.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4B33C47B55790638FF645409FB2E386D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
