A species of soldier fly in the family Stratiomyidae, described by James in 1936. As a member of the subfamily Stratiomyinae, it likely has aquatic larvae like other members of this subfamily. Adults of this genus are often associated with flowers and vegetation near aquatic habitats. The specific epithet 'hirtocculata' suggests a hairy or setose characteristic, though the precise morphological basis is not documented in the provided sources.
