Limosina karelica sp. n. is an easily recognizable species. In contrast with all the known Limosina species its scutellum bears one pair of small basal scutellars and 2-3 short bristles on both sides between the apical and basal scutellars (Fig. 2). On its wings the up­curving vein r^ + g is very characteristic (Fig. 1). It has only one pair of dc and it does not fit to any known species-groups of the genus Limosina. Limosina parapusio Dahl, 1909 - 2 (jt: ex Russula sp. , 10. 10. 78 (No. 2); 1 o_:ex Gyromitra esculenta, 25. 7. 78 (No. 6). It is a well-known obligate mycophagous partheno­genetic species (PAPP, 1972, RICHARDS, 1930, DUDA, 1938). The species was already known from various fungus species. Figs. 1-2. Limosina karelica sp. n. , paratype female 1: wing, 2: scutellum, dorsal view Limosina rufilabris Stenhammar, 1854 - 3 Í, 1 o: ex Leccinium testaceoscabrum, 7., 15. 8. 78 (No. 11, 37). A little-known species, the above data are the first reliable ones concerning the places and the media for breeding of its larvae.
