Male genitalia. Eighth segment with a small area of loosely scattered short spines. Ninth segment short, band-like in lateral view and reduced to a very thin sclerotized dorsal band with three almost lobe-like configuration as seen in dorsal view. The median lobe more developed than lateral ones and membranous. Inferior appendages almost fused to the side pieces of ninth segment with only badly visible sulcus, rather strongly produced upwards with tapering apices. In caudal view with two apices, the outer one more developed, the inner one more pigmented, darker. Superior appendages spatulate in lateral aspect and with a slightly incurving caudomedian lobe-like corner as visible in dorsal and caudal views. Intermediate appendages rod-like heavily pigmented processes with outward curving apex in dorsal aspect. They are rather robust and stout and with a slightly upcurving apex in lateral view. In caudal aspect there is a pair of slightly pigmented plate below the intermediate appendages. There seems to be no connection between them. Phallus very peculiarly formed. Phallobase with a short phallotheca producing a well-developed dorsal hump. Parameres arise at this area forming an upward directed arch with a well-developed hum near their dorsal joining to the endotheca. Aedeagus seems tripartite in lateral view and curving with the same arch as the paralell-running parameres. Its apex supplied with a small dorsal subapical tooth only on the left side. In ventral aspect just above the caudal partition a more pigmented opening visible followed by a more pigmented apical channel. This new Micropterna species is very close to M. solotarewi Martynov, 1913 but has sufficient differences to separate it as a distinct species. The spatulate superior appendages and the more robust and outcurving intermediate appendages differ besides the more produced, tapering and bifurcate apex of the inferior appendages. Phallus also has its specific structure with the tripartite, subapical tooth-bearing aedeagus and arched paramere with their proximal dorsal hump. I name this new species in honour of Lasar BOTOSANEANU in recognition of his overall help during my student period. Holotype 6. Northern slope of Caucasus, Krasnodar District, Goryatsldy Klyuts, near fish hatchery, leg. PANKRAPOVA 10. V. 1952. Deposited in the Zoological Institute, Leningrad. Right pair of wings mounted as dry microscopic preparation. Caustic potash-treated abdomen and the remaining part of the body stored in a single airtight selfstanding vial with 70 % ethanol. Psilopterna alageza sp. n. (Fig. 4) Male (in alcohol). General colour light brown and pale yellow. Head, thorax, coxa light brown. Setae on setal warts of head, pronotum, mesoscutum and setal fringes on coxae yellow. Antennae, maxillar and labial palpi, legs pale yellow. Spines on legs darker brown, spurs yellow. Spur number 0.2.2. First segment of anterior tarsus shorter, only about half of the second.Fore wing membrane light brown with moderately strong venation. On the veins and to some extent also on the membrane of the fore wing small warts or coarse granules from which rather long erect hairs arise. Hind wing membrane more transparent, just hyaline and without coarse granules. Wing venation similar to the only described and drawn fore wing of P. hirsuta Martynov, 1928 although my new species has no cross-vein between Sc and R^ about before the pterostigma as presented by MARTYNOV on his second species. After a careful examination I have found no cross-vein on the fore wing of MARTYNOV s genotype species Psilopterna pevzovi Martynov, 1915. Length and largest width of fore wings 12-3.9, those of hind wings 11-6.1 mm. Male genitalia. Eighth tergite more sclerotized than eighth sternite and with a small group of dorsomedian minute black spinules. Ninth segment very narrow in the dorsal portion, actually ternite reduced to a thin transverse sclerotized band. Tenth segment represented by strongly developed intermediate appendages and small, modified superior appendages. They are semifused forming two half globular deep concavities separated from each others by the elevated median parts of the intermediate appendages. Setose narrow part of superior appendages visible in lateral view as sorrounding the outer margin of the cavity. Intermediate appendages producing extremely elongated, backwards directed and tapering processes, deeply divided as seen in dorsal and lateral view. Their apices highly sclerotized, dark. There are two rows of moderately long hairs on their baso-median edges. Inferior appendages fused to the side pieces of ninth segment forming a broad, egg-shaped body in lateral aspect bearing numerous long and strong erect yellowish hairs. The fused body of the ninth segment and inferior appendages producing an upper portion curved inwards in the form of an elongated dark process tapering and turning internally toward each others and only their black apices visible from the side. Phallus extremely large dominating the whole genital architecture. Its main body producing a truncate basal part, an egg-like middle part and a highly sclerotized,
