pic of lateral thorax - not a lot of obvious hairs, but I'm not sure how to rule out small numbers of pale hairs, e.g.

I wonder if the couplet in MND still applies to Eutrichota?

Anepimeron, meron, katepimeron, and prosternum simultaneously with hairs (Fig. 19) . . . .
Eremomyioides Malloch
6 spp.; widespread; Huckett 1944, Griffiths 1984b (as Eutrichota)
