caudal part of paramere narrower and arising on some distance from their base (Figs 433, 434) while in M. callosa they are short and lamellate and arise at the very base. Nababia gen. n. Type-species: Nababia grisea sp.n. Vertex short, broad, parallel-sided, coronal suture distinct (Fig. 441). Broad rounded transition between vertex and face in profile, face slightly convex (Fig. 442). Lateral frontal sutures sharply convergent, situated near border to vertex, frontoclypeus narrow (Fig. 443). Pronotum more than 3 times longer than vertex; distinct muscle insertions. Wings seem to be as in Andrabia Ahmed [hind wings seriously damaged]. Genital capsule cylindrical, short and high, most of its components desclerotized, sclerotized and the darkest is 10 segment and ventral processes at penis. Dorsal bridge very long (Fig. 436) containing mostly tergite. Anal tube extending beyond short pygofer lobe, it is almost directly firmly connected with atrial rim of penis and with tergal part of pygofer through a membrane. Pygofer hardly differentiated into sclerites, setosity reduced, lobe very short. Subgenital plate exceeding pygofer, elongated, narrowing apicad, rounded terminally, sternite 9 characteristically concave on its caudal margin (Fig. 444). Marginal microsetae only in terminal part of the plate, thin and long basally, shorter apically. Macrosetae in an oblique row (5 in the single specimen examined) starting on some distance from base, followed by irregularly double row of rigid microsetae reaching apex (Fig. 439). Paramere desclerotized, thin and short (Fig. 444), its parts hardly differentiated, a few short microsetae near apex (Fig. 438). Penis stem short, funel-like, not pigmented, situated on a short manubrium (dorsal apodeme not found). Manubrium of penis fused to large ventral penis appendage that starts at short ventral extension and terminates on long curved process at each side (Figs 435, 437). The composed appendage is fused to connective that seems to be simple, biarmate (Fig. 435). Remarks. This genusTs unique in respect to its desclerotization of genital capsule, numerous reductions and fusions. It resembles Andrabia Ahmed and Kadrabia Dwor. et Sohi and seems to be related to both. Nababia grisea sp. n. (Figs 435-444) Type material. - Holotype male: Sikkim, Rumtek, 1700 m, lamp domes, 1990, I. Dworakowska (in SMTD). The single examined specimen might lost its natural colouration being exposed to prolonged heat inside the lamp dome. General colouration light beige, most of pronotum grey, basal triangles blackish. (Fig. 441); there is a sign of a longitudinal streak in midline of frontoclypeus and anteclypeus (Fig. 443). Basal parts of pleuron of 1st thoracic segment blackish. Fore wing semitransparent, greyish-white, costal margin slightly infuscated caudad. Length M 5.4 mm. In male genitalia the most characteristic are chelate terminations of ventral appendages of penis (Fig. 435).
