Empoascanara (s. str.) gracilis sp. n. (Figs 153-162) Fjrternally indistinguishable from E. (s. str.) limbata (Matsumura) (Figs 155, 156). Length o* 2.25-2.30, 9 2.20-2.40 mm. Male genital apparatus (Figs 153, 154, 157-162) very similar to that of the previous species. The main difference is seen in shape of the dorsal extension of the penis stem which in the new species is lamellate, compressed antero-posteriorly and serrated at margins (Figs 160, 161) while in E. limbata it is tapering and bifurcate apically. The structure slightly resembles also E. (s. str.) mai Dworakowska (Dworakowska 1992) but in the present species it is much narrower and serrated also at the dorsal margin. The manubrial penis processes, viewed from behind, in the new species are sinuate like in E. limbata and not arcuate as in E. mai. Holotype male and paratypes 6 o*o\ 19 9 9, S Korea, Youngdaeri, 350 m, 1. X. 1990, I. Dworakowska. (SMTD). 1 9, beyond the type-series, S Korea, Angan, 3. X. 1990, I. Dworakowska. It is possible that at least some of the previous records of E. limbata from N Korea refer to this species. Empoascanara (s. str.) indica (Datta, 1969) 2 ââ, 3 9?

Empoascanara (s. str.) kotos bonis (Matsumura, 1940) (Figs 193-209) Zygina kotoshonis Matsmura, 1940 The holotype is allegedly lost. However, description gives the characters that allow to identify this species beyond a reasonable doubt. The large transverse patch on vertex originates from two lateral patches (similar to these occurring in E. (s. str.) sonani (Matsumura)) which, to a different degree in certain specimens, are fused to each other; degree of pigmentation of the fore wing also varies. Blackish basal triangles are always distinct and this allows easily to distinguish this species from E. sonani. The female 7th abdominal sternite (Fig. 203) has shorter and broader central lobe than that in E. sonani (Fig. 191). Female of E. kotoshonis is_ larger than male to a lesser degree than female of E. sonani. Length 2.25-2.60 (x) 2.41 n=33, 9 2.35-2.55 (x) 2.43 mm n=19. Male genital apparatus hardly distinguishable from that of E. sonani but in majority of specimens apical part of upper appendage at pygofer is fusiform on an outline while in E. sonani it is mostly rhomboid-like. The more distinct character is shape of the upper extension at the penis stem which, in posterior view, is broader in E. kotoshonis (Figs 202, 204) than in E. sonani (Figs 185, 186) and has more and bigger spines. It seems also that E. kotoshonis is utilizing several species of Compositae family
