82 J. Oláh RHYACOPHILIDAE Himalopsyche todma SCHMID, 1963 - Pakistan: Kashmir, Bubin, lower area, 17.VIII. 2001. leg. B. BENEDEK & G. RONKAY (2 males, 1 female). Kashmir, Deosai Mts, Bubin, 3300 m, 14.VIII.2001, leg. B. BENEDEK & G. RONKAY (2 males, 1 female). Rhyacophila akutila sp. n. (Figs 23-26) Description - Male (in alcohol). Small-sized, medium brown animal with lighter ap­pendages and light brown wing membrane. Maxillary palp formula I-II-V-IV-III. Abdomi­nal tergites and sternites light spotted with rather large and less pigmented alveolar haloes. Forewing length 9 mm. Male genitalia (Fig. 23). In lateral view IX t h segment quadrangular, short and tall, ventral half shorter than dorsal; dorsoapical area with erect setae. Segment X composed of dorsal branch with subapical flaps and straight ventral branch (Figs 23, 25); in dorsal view apical excision pentagonal and subapical flaps laterad directed (Fig. 24); apices of ventral branch without anal sclerites, deeply bifid, its mesal lobe pointed; weakly discernible U-shaped paraproct shifted anterad at the apices of the ventral branch, its tergal band con­necting paraproct to phallobase short. Cerci reduced. Ventrum of harpagones shorter than dorsum of coxopodites. Phallic apparatus consisting of very short phallotheca with phallobase (Fig. 26); dorsal processes of phallotheca composed of longer unpaired upper and less sclerotized slightly shorter lower lobes divided medially to its half; phallobase con­nected to U-shaped paraproct by median tergal band and by tenons (clasper hanger of Ross) and tendons (clasper tendon of Ross) to dorsobasal area of coxopodite; aedeagus (phallicata) with a more sclerotized digitiform dorsal process and less sclerotized, more ro­bust ventral arm with hammer-shaped apex; a pair of membranous, weakly discernible blunt lateral arm or parameres shorter than dorsal processes. Type material - Holotype, male, HNHM. Bulgaria: Sofia province, Rila Mts, Boro­vec, Prava Marica Stream at Zavracica mountain hut, 2190 m, N42°10.075', E23°38.504', 8.IX. 2005, leg. M. FÖLDVÁRI & D. MURÁNYI. Paratype, female, HNHM. Bulgaria: Sofia province, Rila Mts, Borovec, Prava Marica Stream at Zavracica mountain hut, 2190 m, N42°10.075', E23°38.504\ 8.IX.2005, leg. M. FÖLDVÁRI & D. MURÁNYI. Etymology - This species is named with reference to the peculiar straight ventral branch of the X t h segment; "akutila" is "straight" in Sanscrit. Diagnosis - This new species belongs to the R. tristis species group. It is closest to R. pseudotristis KUMANSKI, 1987, but differs by having (1) abdo­minal tergites and sternites with very pronounced light coloured alveolar haloes, R. pseudotristis has no light ring around alveoli at all; (2) in dorsal Annls hist.-nat.
