Abdomen black with two dark gray spots distally on the tergites, and also dark gray stripes laterally on the sternites. (This pattern is visible after moistening the pinned material.) Male terminalia: as in Figs 1-4. Ectoproct narrow, covered with black hairs and spines, and pointed apically in lateral view. Its basal part (in ventral view) slightly arched, ventral projection moderately long. Strong spines absent on the proximal part of the dorso-medial angle of the ectoproct (however present on its distal part). Parameres rather short and stout. Median projection of 9th sternite wide, tips of the lateral lobes are close to the median projection and to each other. In female internal genitalia (Fig. 5) the ductus seminalis broader distally of the median loop of its free part than before this loop, and sharply broken before the end. Fig. 5. Female internal genitalia of Bubopsis andromache firyuzae ssp. n., lateral view. Scale: 0.16 mm, ag = postbursal accesory gland, be = bursa copulatrix, ml = median loop of the free part of ductus seminalis, rs = receptaculum seminis Remarks — Bubopsis andromache U. Aspöck, H. Aspöck et Holzel, 1979 was separated from Bubopsis hamatus (Klug, 1830) first of all on the basis of its dark pigmentation (U. Aspöck, H. Aspöck and Holzel 1979). The distribution of the species was indicated as Aegean Islands, South and West Anatolia, West and North Syria, Lebanon and Israel, almost everywhere near to the coastline. The investigated specimens from Firyuza - the holotype and paratypes of the new subspecies B. andromache firyuzae - in almost every respect agree with original description of B. andromache eidonomically, and with the examined male paratype of the species genitalically. However, there are some distinctive features as well: - the flagellar segments of B. andromache firyuzae entirely black, while in the case of the nominotypical subspecies B. andromache andromache brown, with dark rings; - the subcostal field of the B. a. firyuzae brown, that of B. a. andromache light ochreous; - the paired spots on the abdominal tergites of B. a. firyuzae dark gray, of B. a. andromache brown; - the legs of B. a. firyuzae black, of B. a. andromache brown; Folia ent. hung. 61,2000
