Connective (Figs 903, 904) lamellate bilobate with small central extension. Penis (Figs 900, 901) as in Zyginella. Remarks. Ledeira seems to have the ground plan of penis setting (anal tube extend­ing beyond pygofer as fas as subgenital plates) as in Zyginella. The external characters, especially very short head and coalescence of veins in apical region of fore wing, how­ever, allow to distinguish it very easily. The sexual dimorphism in face, occassionally oc­curring in other tribes, is unique for Ledeira. In male genitalia, structure and setosity of pygofer and subgenital plate is also distinctive. Ledeira callosa Dwor. 1 M, 2 F, Sikkim, Pelling, 2000 m, 11. III; 1 M, 3 F, Pelling, 1850 m, Castanopsis, 12. m. 1991,1. Dworakowska. Ledeira pulchella sp. n. (Figs 889-904) Type material. - Holotype male: Sikkim, Rumtek, 1700 m, lamp domes, 1990, I. Dworakowska (in SMTD). - Paratype 1 F, same data as holotype (in SMTD). Vertex shorter than half of length of pronotum, in both sexes only slightly longer in the midline and rounded anteriorly. Head and upper side of thorax ivory. Pronotum with large brownish-orange U-shaped patch in male, slightly lighter in female. Basal triangles in male brown, accompanied with brownish patches on scutum and scutellum (marked by oblique dashes in Fig. 890). In female basal triangles orange-brownish. Fore wing whit­ish. The proximal patch and patches on clavus (marked by transverse striation in Fig. 894) reddish-orange, other patches in m and cua cells orange, those in distal parts of c and r cells (marked by short dashes in Fig. 894) reddish. Areas marked with square pat­tern or obliquely stripped are tan, light brown or blackish-brown. Veins in the region of nodus orange to reddish-orange. Fore wing of female lighter. Female abdominal sternite 7 narrowing posteriorly, deeply and broadly incised in midline at hind margin that makes it bilobate. Length M 3.40, F 3.25 mm. In male genitalia characteristic is penis with well sclerotized short tubular stem and atrial lateral appendages longer than the stem adorned with ledges and accompanying de­pressions in their apical 1/3 (Fig. 900). The appendages declined laterad in their lower half and turned mesad in their upper half (Fig. 901). Basal abdominal apodemes of male short and broad (Fig. 902). Ledeira eponae sp. n. (Figs 905-908) Type material. - Holotype female: Sikkim, Rumtek, 1700 m, lamp domes, 1990, I. Dworakowska (in SMTD). - Paratypes: 3 F, same data as the holotype (in SMTD, NMNH, HMNH). Vertex produced in the midline, hardly half as long as pronotum. Contrastic multi­coloured pattern on head and upper side of body. Vertex and anterior part of pronotum
