Medium-sized species with almost completely black body, brownish legs and transparent wings. Resembles several European species ( Macrorrhyncha guichardi Chandler, 1994; M. veleka Bechev, 1992; M. geranias (Loew, 1870); M. atticae Kurina, 2004) by black body color and bare mediotergite, but distinguished by the structure of male terminalia, especially the wide triangular dorsal process of gonocoxites, bearing 5 setae medially. Generally black North American Macrorrhyncha coxalis (Loew, 1870) has scutellum yellow laterally and darkened knob of halter, while in new species scutellum is completely black and halter is uniformly brown.
