with thin, medium-long setae. Surstylus short and very broad, fused to epandrium, i.e. proximal part hidden below epandrial wall, its distal (caudal) part fused to epandrium, so both their lateral and me­dial walls united. Surstylus without conspicuous thorns, but both its lateral and medial surface setose: laterally with less numerous but longer, medially with numerous but shorter setae. Right lamella of distiphallus (Fig. 15) with a large basal and a medial process but apical process not very long (though much curved), left lamella rather simple, archly curved. Gonopod (Fig. 16) rather long, proximal edge with a row of medium-long setae, but without an apical thorn. Female abdominal tergites 1-5 with broad band (similar to male), tergite 6 with a much nar­rower band, tergites 7-8 seem to be all dark. Female cerci short with short hairs. Remarks - This is a peculiar species. It runs to T. sanctiferdinandi (CZERNY, 1909) (Spain) in HACKMAN's (1970) key. However, both the shape of its surstylus and distiphallus make it easily separable (see HACKMAN's figs 10-11). I cannot imagine that HACKMAN would not have mentioned the extremely large epandrial Figs 13-16. Trixoscelisfumipennis sp. n., paratype male, genitalia. 13 = ejaculatory apodeme, lateral view, 14 = epandrium and surstylus lateral view, 15 = phallus, ventral view, 16 = gonopod, lateral view. Scale bar: 0.2 mm for all
