Ischiolepta indica sp. n. does not fit in the key of Han and Kim (1990): its acrostichals are in 4 or more irregular rows but its body is not shining. One can easily distinguish it from congeners by its 6 bifid marginal scutellar tubercles. Its male genitalia are quite unique with extremely long surstylus and long cerci, which are fused with epandrium; this is a unique feature in this genus. Etymology. The types were collected in North India (Kumaon district) and though we do not think, it would occur only there, it was named as "indica". Ischiolepta minuscula sp. n. (Figs 6-11) Holotype male (HNHM): Tanzania: Morogoro region, Mikumi National Park, Mikumi Tented Camp - Netting over excrement of elephant, Feb 1, 1987, leg. S. Mahunka-T. Pócs-A. Zicsi, No. 8. Paratypes: 2 9$ (HNHM): same data. Measurements in mm: body length 1.15 (holotype), ca. 1.20 (abdomen down curved on both paratypes), wing length 1.10 (holotype), 1.10-1.19, wing width 0.46 (holotype), 0.510.53. Body dull dark brown, tubercles and setae all very short. Head somewhat higher than long (19 : 17); frons flat and elongate, lunule small triangular, inner and outer vertical setae and 2 pairs of proclinate upper orbital (fronto-orbital) setae all very short, their basal tubercles indistinct; epistoma wide and low, not much higher than clypeus, clypeus microtomentose; gena, supragena, infragena and facial ridge all dull; facial ridge with thick flat inclinate vibrissa, several comparatively long subvibrissal hairs; eye round. Thorax dull; acrostichal setae in 4 nearly regular rows; dorsocentral rows distinctly separate from acrostichal rows, bare area between them pollinose; scutellum twice as wide as long with 8 i.e. 4 pair of normal marginal scutellar tubercles, each with medially directed small setae; katepisternum with sparse ventral hairs only. Legs dull dark brown without any modifications; fore femur 0.380 mm long, 0.121 mm wide, ratio 3.14; hind femur much thickened, 0.483 mm long 0.155 mm wide, ratio 3.12; hind tibia 0.388 mm long, 0.069 mm wide; hind femur strongly, hind tibia slightly bent dorsally. Hind tibia with strong ventroapical spur in both sexes. Wings with some brownish infukation, veins light brown. Preabdomen well sclerotized. Male tergite 1+2 normal, tergites 3 and 4 transverse rectangular; tergite 5 small and asymmetrical (Fig. 6); sternite 1 consists of two very small round sclerites, sternite 2 divided into two (Fig. 7), sternites 3 and 4 comparatively large, latter slightly asymmetrical, sternite 5 very short with a pair of short lateral marginal bristles. Male terminalia (Figs 8-11) very characteristic, hypandrium short but high (wide) placed ventrally to epandrium, surstylus bifid apically (Figs 9-10), cerci rather small and laterally placed with 3 pairs of long apical bristles. Postgonite (Fig. 11) unique with a very wide apex, which bears very small thornlets in 3 rows, medially with a large rounded process, subbasally with another process of upcurving blunt apex; distiphallus (Fig. 10) with serrate dorsal sclerite, basiphallus with a caudally directed small ventrobasal process. Female abdomen not dissected; sternites each with a pair of long blunt marginal setae. Ischiolepta minuscula sp. n. is far the smallest species in the genus, /. scabricula (Haliday, 1836), which was though to be the smallest, is 1.5 times bigger; I do not think any of the hitherto known species is closely related to this new one: its bifid surstylus and unique postgonite make it easily distinquishable from any other species.
