of external side (this micropubescence probably present in all related species, see e. g. also Fig. 3, but apparently overlooked previously). Ejaculatory apodeme present but rather small. $ . Head, thorax, legs, wing and preabdomen as in the male unless mentioned otherwise. Total body length 2.06-2.58 mm. Ratio t 2 '• mt 2 = 1.85-1.91. Wing measurements: length 2.10-2.38 mm, width 0.87-1.03 mm, C-index = 1.76-1.97, r a- r p : r p = 3.08-3.13. Abdomen and preabdomen in particular, shorter setulose than in male but also 6th tergum with a long bristle in posterior corners. Postabdomen (Figs 33, 34). 6th tergum simple oblong, with a long bristle in posterior corners. 7th tergum short, transverse, with membraneous posterior margin, with short setae arising on dark pigmented margin and with a long bristle on each side. 8th tergum divided into lateral sclerites. each bearing about 5 thicker bristles on posterior margin and a very slender projection reaching far on ventral side of postabdomen. 9th tergum fused with cerci and carrying 2 minute dorsal setulae. 6th sternum transversely oblong, densely setulose. 7th sternum slightly projecting posteromedially (as in L. equispina) and more densely haired only on posterior, darker pigmented margin. 8th ster­num plate-shaped, long, of usual structure with projecting posterior corners, in form and pigmenta­tion most resembling that of L. parafinalis. 9th sternum pale pigmented, divided into 2 densely haired sclerites and anteriorly of complex structure. Internal "spectacles-shaped" sclerite present but too poorly defined to be described. Spermathecae (Fig. 37) with some tubercles on body and Figs 33-37. Leptocera (s. str.) dyscola sp. n. (paratypes): 33 = female postabdomen dorsally; 34 = dtto ventrally; 35 = left mid tibia dorsally; 36 = apex of mid tibia and basitarsus posteriorly; 37 = spermathecae. —• Abbrevations: S = sternum. T = tergum. Scales : Figs 33. 34 = 0.1 mm, Figs. 35, 36 = 0.2 mm, Fig. 37 = 0.05 mm
