cranially to this lobe; 9/ male perianclrium (epandrium) with more or less distinct pseudocerci, each pseudocercus with some longer hair3; periandrial bristles short and uniform; subanal plate reduced; 10/ hypandrium of medium length, Y-shaped; 11/ telomeres (surstyli) rather bilobed with a flat and pale anterior lobe and a robust posterior lobe armed with long Bettform hairs; ventral side of telomere carrying two very robust but short spines, anterior spine bicuspidate; 12/ aedea­gal complex with rather long phallophore (i.e. not reduced as in the B. fucata­group). comparati­vely well sclerotized distiphallus with two areas of fine spinules, postgonites slender with a pair of proximal aetulae and a usually small (? sometimes absent) ejaculatory apodeme; 13/ female postabdomen short and smaii when comparing to preabdomen, spectacles-shaped sclerlte present but rather uibraneoue; 14/ female cerci comparatively slender and with rather short hairs. Paralimosina beckeri (Duda, 1918) comb.n. (Figs. 6, 9, 19) Mat^rinl examined: 1 di Anagageb., Tenerife, leg. H. FRANZ (on the other side of label: "Sp.1155") - Kanarische Inseln, leg. H. FRANZ; 1 g: Isla der Hierro, El Golfo, leg. H. FRANZ (on the other Bide of label: "Sp.1387"). This species differs from all its known relatives (see below) by itt» fully developed wings (see Fig. 43 in DUDA, 1918), strikingly shining, non-pruinose preabdominal terga and male geni­tal structures. Because the male has not been described until now, we include a brief characte­rization of the male 5th sternum and genitalia. Male 5th sternum (Fig. 6) with pale, weakly sclerotized posteromedial lobe with some micro­setae on posterior margin. Its medial thick is dark pigmented and relatively shprt; there are three pairs of characteristically sitting spines cranially to it. Periandrium of medium length, pseudocerci rather reduced, each with one longer and shorter hair-like setae. Hypandrium compa­ratively short. Telomere (Fig. 9) short (i.e. low) and widp with a rather large anterior lobe. Posterior lobe with comparatively short setiform hairs (compared to the related species), poste­rior ventral spine as robust as anterior one. Micropubescence of telomere reduced. Aedeagal complex (Fig. 19) with characteristic distiphallus being distinctly spinulose dorsoapically, latero­basally and ventrobasally . Postgonite slightly bent with a small tubercle subapically. Ejaculatory apodeme minute. Paralimosina gomerensis sp.n. (Figs. 1, 7, 10, 21) Measurements in mm: body length: 1.81 (holotype), 1.70, 1.71 (paratypes); wings: 0.61 x 0.28 (holotype), 0.685 x 0.25, 0.66 x 0.25 (paratypes); length of abdomen: 0.93 (holotype), 1.03, 0.96 (paratypes); length of middle interfrontal bristle: 0.21 (holotype); apical scutellar bristle: 0.52 (holotype). Body dark brown, only notopleural area of mesonotum and a distal part of sternopleura and hypopleura reddish. Abdomen much convex and pruinose dorsally, only proximal margin and a small central spot of syntergum 1+2 shining. Legs largely dark brown, fore coxae, bases and apices of femora and tibiae reddish. Frons dark subshining, only anterior part laterally to lunule reddish or yellowish. Wings (Fig. 1) very short, much reduced in size but venation the least re­duced In this species group (excl. beckeri) ; costa dark brown and very thick (0.03 mm on sec­tion mg2), its base with a very long (0.17 mm) and somewhat shorter bristles, also section mg^ with some very long bristles (up to 0.08 mm); radial vein ri less upcurving than in its relatives; T4+5 ending at wing apex (radial veins light brown); t a present (at least as an appendage of vein r4 + 5), medial vein and also cubital vein present and ending at about distal third of wing, also base of anal vein discernible. Alula comparatively big with some hair-like bristles of moderate length. Male 5th sternum comparatively short and transverse but longer than In franzi sp.n.; its posteromedial lobe short (Fig. 7) with rather long pilosity, armature cranially to lobe highly characteristic, formed by a very dense row of short and thick spines, laterally terminating in 2-3 very robust about thrice longer spines. Periandrium small and strikingly short. Pseudocerci much reduced, each with dense micropubescence and probably with several longer bristles (c. 5 basal rings discernible). Hypandrium broken but probably rather short. (Telomere (Fig. 10) most similar to that of franzi sp.n. Anterior flat lobe with an acute apex -frál spine
