Diagnosis. This species is distinguished from Asioclinocera yunnanica gen. et sp. nov. by the dark scutum, lacking dark vittae; anteroventral and posteroventral rows of setae less than half width of fore femur; and shape of the clasping cercus.
Etymology. This species is named after the country of origin, ‘Formosa’, a common name used by Europeans until the 20 th century.

Description (wing length 3.5–3.8 mm). Male. Head ( Fig. 2 View Figs 1–3 ): Oval, tapered ventrally, dark brown. Face with thin pruinescence, narrower than width of antennal bases. Ocellar triangle with pair of straight, anteriorly-directed ocellar setae, longer and stronger than vertical setae; pair of vertical setae. Postocular row of setae on upper half strong; lower half slender; occipital setae scattered, setae posterior to mouth slender. Antenna brown ( Fig. 2 View Figs 1–3 ); scape shorter than pedicel, with several setulae; pedicel with circlet of apical setae; postpedicel short-ovate; basal segment of arista-like stylus wider than long; arista-like stylus as long as head height. Thorax: Scutum dark brown, with thin pruinescence; prescutellar depression with whitish pruinescence in anterior view. Pleura dark brown, concolourous with scutum ( Fig. 1 View Figs 1–3 ). Scutal setae long, slender; acrostichals absent; 5 dorsocentral setae; 1 postpronotal seta; 1 presutural supra-alar seta; notopleuron with several anterior setulae, 1 upper posterior notopleural seta; 2 postsutural supra-alar setae; 1 postalar seta; pair of scutellar setae, closely approximated, longer than prescutellar dorsocentral. Laterotergite with several long, slender setae. Legs: Coxae and femora brown, paler than pleura, remaining segments dark brown. Fore femur with rows of fine anteroventral and posteroven- tral setae, length less than half width of femur; preapical anteroventral spine-like seta longer than width of tibia ( Fig. 2 View Figs 1–3 ). Fore tibia with row of strong, short anteroventral setae, less than half length of tibia. Mid tibia with basal posterodorsal seta, twice width of tibia. Hind tibia with strong anteroventral seta on distal third, nearly twice width of tibia; row of strong, erect posterodorsal setae on distal third, subequal to width of tibia. Wing ( Fig. 3 View Figs 1–3 ): Infuscate, without cloudy pattern; R 4 nearly straight, ending in costa slightly beyond middle between R 2+3 and R 5. Halter brown. Abdomen: Sclerites dark brown, darker than thorax, with short, scattered setae and thin pruinescence. Tergum 7 membranous medially; sternum 7 with anterolateral corner prolonged into distinct projection. Tergum 8 roundly expanded laterally with numerous long setae; sternum 8 as long as sternum 7, posteri- or margin truncate, not prolonged beneath hypandrium. Terminalia ( Figs 6 View Figs 6–7 , 8 View Figs 8–9 ): Hypandrium triangular, similar in length to epandrium, with 6 apical setae. Phallus with broad triangular base arising from hypandrium, articulated with straight, stout apical section; apex expanded with narrow, membranous crest. Ejaculatory apodeme broad, rounded, narrowly extended into base of phallus. Epandrium rounded, with long setae along dorsal mar- gin. Cercal plate with long setae on apical half. Clasping cercus broad, flattened, spatulate; inner face clothed with peg-like setae over most of surface. Surstylus narrow, tapered to pointed apex; shorter than half length of clasping cercus.
Female. Unknown.
