Hemisemidalis hreblayi sp.n. (Figs 6-10) Holotype — Male, labelled as "Jammu and Kashmir, under administration of Pakistan, Shandur Pass, 3600 m. a.s.L, 22.6.1992, G. Csorba and M. Hreblay" - deposit­ed in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Paratypes: 1 male, same data as holotype; 1 male, same territory as holotype, Hunza, 2900 m. a.s.l., 13.6.1992; 1 male, same territory as holotype, Söst, 2800 m. a.s.l., 16.6.1992 - deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Description — Head capsule and eyes black, palpi brown. Antennae dark brown, 2.9 ­3.1 mm, 39-43 segmented. Pedicel and most of the flagellar segments about one and a half times as long as broad. Prothorax dorsally black, the thorax otherwise dark greyish brown: Legs dark brown. Lengh of fore wing 3.3-3.9 mm, of hind wing 2.8-3.1 mm. Wing membrane brownish. Male terminalia: as in Figs 6-10. Apodeme of 9th segment ventrally incomplete. Hypandrium distinct, relatively large, and has a pair of strongly sclerotized lobes cau­dally. These lobes dorsally are not connected to each other with a heavily sclerotized belt, consequently, the upper edge of hypandrium is without a knob in lateral view. Paramere rather long. The projection at the connection of the base of dorsal plate above the paramere curving up abruptly. Caudal end of the paramere narrow, curving forwards, slightly inwards, and furnished with a strong spine. Penis sclerite small, weakly sclero­tized and somewhat longer than broad. Stylus long, hooked, ending in a thorn. The strongly sclerotized ectoproct rounded in lateral view. Remarks — Because of some important features of the male genitalia, as the relative­ly large hypandrium with a pair of strongly sclerotized caudal lobes, Hemisemidalis hreblayi is allied with H. pallida (which partly is synpatric with the new species). The main distinctive features of Hemisemidalis hreblayi sp. n. are: - the absence of a sclerotized belt between the caudal lobes of hypandrium (in H. pal­lida this belt is present); - the absence of a knob in lateral view on the upper edge of hypandrium (in H. pal­lida this knob is present); - the narrow, forwards curving end of paramere, with strong spine; - the relatively large measures of the insect. In the case of H. pallida the above mentioned characters of male genitalia were fig­ured in detail by Aspöck and Aspöck (1965). Etymology — I name this new species in honour of Dr. Márton Hreblay, one of the collectors of the present material. Hemisemidalis fulvipennis sp. n. (Figs 11-14) Holotype — Male, labelled as "Jammu and Kashmir, under administration of Pakistan, Söst, 2800 m. a.s.l., 16.6.1992, G. Csorba and M. Hreblay" - deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Paratypes — 1 male, Pakistan, Garam-Chasma, 2600 m. a.s.l., 25.6.1992; 1 male, Yemen, Sana, Aug. 1991, leg.: A. van Harten - deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Description — Head capsule brown, eyes large, black. Antennae brown, 1.7-2.4 mm, 35-37 segmented. Pedicel and apical flagellar segments one and a half times as long as broad, basal flagellar segments about as long as broad. Palpi brown, slender.
