Collection. This species and the genus was described by several authors, and well established. There is no urgent nomenclatorial problem to designate a neotype, however, we propose here a more detailed description and drawing from a Hungarian specimen for comparison. The species is widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region (Kozár 1998). Most of the specimens from different places have no great morphological differences, only one specimen from Armenia (Dilizhan, 1600 m a.s.l., 28.09.1982, Leg. O. Merkl, No. 566), has different structure of the antennae. This question deserves more study, and further specimens from the Caucasus. N.floccosa is similar to N. kanayana, but differs by the interrupted wax plates on the dorsum and venter, and much bigger number of pores and setae near the coxal base, according to detailed description and drawing of Kawai and Takagi (1971) (type material not seen). Newsteadia kanayana Kawai et Takagi, 1971 This species was described from Japan. In our samples further specimens were found fromdifferent places: Korea D.P.R., Chagang Prov. Mt. Myohyang-san, 12.09.1980, Leg. L. Forró and Gy. Topái, No. 422. Korea D.P.R., Kangwon Prov. Mt. Kumgang-san, 18.09.1980, Leg Gy. Topái, No. 430. There are two specimens from Vietnam (CucPhuong: Bong, 15.12.1965, Leg. T. Pócs, No. 51. Vietnam, 1965, Leg. S. Mahunka, No. 550, which are also similar to N. kanayana, but differs by the high number of spines in the wax plates on the venter in the first case and a smaller number in the second case. To clarify the status of these specimens the collection of further material is necessary. Newsteadia sp. was found also in China (Yang 1982), but the species identity was not established. Key to the adult females of Newsteadia found in these regions 1. Labium longer than 300 pm nepalensis (Richard, 1990) Labium shorter than 300 pm 2 2.
