digitiform, set rather high on gonocoxite, aedeagal complex dark brown and rela­tively large (Figs 5-6). Female. Unknown. Variability - The two type specimens differ slightly in coloration (the holotype is darker). Remarks - A conspicuous, brightly coloured species, which differs from the other species mainly in the structure of the gonostylus and the aedeagal complex. Leia martinovskyi sp. n. Holotype - Male (coll. Sevcík): Slovakia, Tatra National Park, Roháce Mts., Zuberec, Pále­nica, 840 m, 5.8.1990, leg. J. Martinovsky. Male. Wing length 4.2 mm. Head dark brown. Mouthparts and palpi yellow. Antennae of the holotype missing. Thorax brownish yellow, mesoscutum with dark setae, especially along mar­gins. Laterotergite with long setae. Scutellum yellowish, with 4 long apical bris­tles. Haltères yellow. Wing with a subapical brown stripe and a black basal spot in the axillary area, without any other markings. Basal part of CuA, shortly inter­rupted. Legs mainly yellowish, coxae with black apical spot, hind femur apically brown. Abdominal segments 1-4 mostly yellow, tergite 4 caudally darker, segments 5-7 mainly dark, both tergite and sternite 5 basally light. Segment 8 and terminalia yellowish. Gonostylus blackish brown, relatively large and thick, L-shaped (Figs 7-8 ). Female. Unknown. Remarks - A mainly yellowish species, with very characteristic gonostylus. It is somewhat similar to Leia flavipennis Lastovka & Matile, 1974, described from Mongolia, which has wings unspotted and dark mesoscutum. Etymology - This species is dedicated to our late friend, Dr Jaroslav Martinovsky (1938-2001 ), the excellent Czech specialist to several families of Nematocera, mainly Tipulidae, who collected the holotype and who also participated in the project "Checklist of the Diptera of Hungary''.
