--.-Badukiella subnigra sp. n. (Fig. 5) Male (in alcohol). General colour fuscous. Head almost black, thorax, abdomen, coxa, troc han­ter, femur except the distal end and tarsus except the first and second joints fuscous. Distal end of femur, tibia and the first two joints of tarsus lighter. Antennae fuscous with the first two joints darker. Maxillary and labial palpi fuscous. Setae on the head fuscous and on the thorax lighter. The first tarsal joint longest on each legs. The first joint of maxillary palpi only half of the second and similar in size to the third joint. On labial palpi each joint of equal length. Spurs 0.2.2. Wings of typical Chetopterigini appearance. Rather strong and long erect fuscous hairs arise from small warts or coarse granules scattered all over the membrane and on the veins. Apex of both the fore wing and hind wing rounded. Length and largest width of fore wing 8.6-3.2, those of hind wing 7.2-4 mm. Fig. 5. Badukiella subnigra sp. n. A. male genitalia, lateral, B. dorsal, C. posterior, D. phallus, lat­eral, E. phallus,posterior, F. wings Male genitalia. Ninth segment with a very narrow dorsal band only but well developed lateral­ly and slightly narrowing again ventrally, fused with the inferior appendages with hardly visible suture between them. Intermediate appendage most robust in the genital architecture forming a heavily sclerotized dark process and having downwards directed hairs on their ventral side. Supe­rior appendages seem to be fused to the intermediate appendages forming a complex figure as vis­ible in caudal aspects. They are rounded in lateral view. Inferior appendages produced upwards with tapering apex. Phallus rather specialized, compact and fused piece. Phallotheca and endotheca overlap although a more membranous area visible from which a rather short aedeagus with clear opening arises, slightly produced upwards. The up and slightly backwards produced black, stout tapering paired process represents the parameres also arises from the endotheca area. Mey and Müller considered this process as the aedeagus and stated that the phallus of genus Badukiella is without parameres. More material is required to homologize more reliably the phallic structure in this and in the related genus. This new species is very close to the only known species of this genus B. prohibita Mey et Müller, 1979. There are, however, well-defined differences in the structure of genitalia. The para-
