centrals becoming shorter anteriorad. 9 rows of acrostichal microsetae; medially 3 incomplete pairs of distinctly enlarged acrostichals and 1 row of microsetae running between them. Prescutellar medial acrostichal pair hardly enlarged. Scutellum large, rounded triangular, with 4 pairs of marginal scutellar bristles. 2 sternopleurals, the posterior one very long and robust, almost reaching up to upper margin of mesopleuron. — Legs rather slender, brown with paler trochanters, knees and tarsi. Chaetotaxy of mid tibia (Fig. 26) characterized by robust bristles but posteroapical setae short­er than in L. finalis or L. parafinalis. Mid basitarsus with very strong ventral bristle, see Fig. 27. Ratio U : mt 2 = 2.05. —-Wing (Fig. 41) with pale brownish membrane, veins brown. C not exten­ded beyond R i+5 . R 2 +3 rather parallel to C, apically upcurved to C. Ri +5 strongly curved up to C (more than in L. fontinalis). Discal cell of medium size, with distinct processes of M 1+2 and M 3+4 beyond f p , the former continued by colourless venal fold reaching wing margin. Alula big but tapered apically. Wing measurements: length 2.32 mm, width 0.95 mm, C-index = 1.80, f a-f p : r p = 2.86. Haltères dirty yellow with somewhat darker stem. Abdomen brownish black, subshiny. Syntergum 1 +2 basally slightly paler pigmented. Terga sparsely haired but with long bristles in posterior corners; those of 5th tergum particularly long, longer than length of 4th and 5th tergum together. Sterna with short and more dense hairs. 5th sternum as in L. finalis; also its membraneous posteromedial finely pubescent area as in that species. Genitalia. Periandrium rather broad (Fig. 23) with the usual long caudal bristle; other­wise shortly setulose. Hypandrium rather long, Y-shaped. Subanal plate not developed; intraperi­Figs 23-27. Leptocera (s. str.) spinitarsata L. PAPP (holotype): 23 = male genitalia caudally (aede­agal complex omitted) ; 24 = telomere laterally ; 25 = aedeagal complex laterally (right postgonite omitted) ; 26 = left mid tibia dorsally ; 27 = apex of mid tibia and basitarus posteriorly. — Scales: Figs 24, 25 =01. mm, Fig. 23 = 0.05 mm, Figs 26, 27 = 0.2 mm
