with interior apex more pointed than that of franzi. Posterior lobe with a row of setlform hairs somewhat longer than in beckeri. Posterior ventral spine slightly differing from that of franzi (Fig. 10, cf. Fig. 11) and the area covered by micropubescence of smaller extent. Aedeagal complex with phallophore and distiphallus resembling those of beckeri (see Fig. 19) but somewhat more robust and setosity more reduced on ventrobasal part of distiphallus. Postgonite (Fig. 21) more curved than that of related species, with short but conspicuous posterior process in proximal part and a rounded tubercle on apex.Ejaculatory apodeme not observed. Holotype male: La Gomera, El Cedro, leg. H. FRANZ (on the other side of label: "Sp. 1308"). - Paratypes: 2 o: data same as for holotype. The type-specimens are glued on labels, the genitalia of holotype are preserved in glycerene In microvial. The holotype and one paratype are deposited in the collection of Prof. H. FRANZ, one female paratype in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Regarding the male genitalia this species seems most closely allied to P. beckeri and P. franzi sp.n. It can be easily distinguished from the other brachypterous relatives by its comparatively complete venation of wing, male 5th sternum with extremely robust spines on lateral ends of a row cranially to the posteromedial lobe, different anterior lobe of telomere and by its curved postgonite with small posterior process. Paralimosina franzi sp. n. (Figs. 2, 8, 11. 20) Measurements in mm: body length: 1.63 (holotype), 1.89 (paratype); wings: 0.46 x 0.21 (holotype), 0.47 x 0.25 (paratype); length of abdomen: 0.76 (holotype); postalar bristle (posterior sa): 0.25; strong interfrontal bristle: 0.18 (holotype); length of mt2: 0.27 (holotype), 0.29 (paratype); length of middle tibia: 0.49 (holotype), 0.52 (paratype); ratio of the two latter measurements: 0.545 and 0.565, respectively. Mesonotum reddish brown, abdomen dark brown and pruinose (somewhat shining), i.e. syntergum 1+2 of female almost completely pruinose, only a small transverse spot shining on basis. Thoracic pleurae red, subalar callus dark brown and also a major part of sternopleura brown. Anterior 2/5 of frons and facial plate reddish yellow; genae greyish brown but yellowish on peristomial margin. Legs yellowish red, dorsal side of femora and tarsi brown. Wings (Fig. 2) much reduced, the shortest in this species-group but with rounded apex (not acute as in anaptera sp.n.). Costa and radial veins very thick, brown; strong baBal costal bristle broken off but it must have been very long judged by Its base; radial vein r\ strongly upcurving apically, section mg2 very short (shorter than T2+3), radial veins r2+3 and T4+5 upcurving; rudiment of cubital vein present as an almost straight vein not reaching apical fourth of wing. Alula small, its apex less rounded with some moderately long hairs. Male 5th sternum (Fig. 8) very short and transverse. Posterior medial lobe short and rather similar to that of gomerensis sp.n., including its micropubescence but its medial thick well developed, narrow, dark and well sclerotized. All bristles on diBc of 5th sternum broken (owing to the glue used for preparation) but the position of basal scars (rings) quite different from that of gomerensis and beckeri. Periandrium small but longer jthan that of gomerensis sp. n., with short hairs. Pseudocerci reduced similarly as in gomerensis. each densely pubescent and probably with some long setae (3 basal scars discernible). Hypandrium comparatively robust. Telomere (Fig. 11) small, resembling that of gomerensis sp.n. All Its longer setae, Incl. robust medial spines broken owing to the inappropriate method of preservation. Anterior flat lobe long and slender but with rounded apex; anterior ventral spine as in gomerensis but its interior apex more blunt. Posterior lobe armed by a row of setiform bristles (see basal scars) but their length remains unknown (since they are missing). Posterior ventral spine simple, tapering apically but with blunt apex. Micropubescence covering a larger area than in gomerensis. Some posterior microsetae enlarged and thickened. Aedeagal complex rather similar to that of beckeri (cf. Fig. 19) but distiphallus with finer setosity, especially dorsoapically. Postgonite (Fig. 20) long, slender and in contrast of the related species with a quite simply pointed apex. Ejaculatory apodeme not observed. Holotype male: Anagageb., Tenerife, leg. H. FRANZ (on the other Bide of label: "Sp.1155") - Kanarische Inseln, leg. H. FRANZ. - Paratype female: data same as for holotype. The typespecimens are glued on labels, the male genitalia are preserved in glycerine in microvial. The holotype is deposited In the collection of Prof. H. FRANZ, the paratype female is in the Hunga-
