Scenopinus goblensis sp.n. (Fig. 4) This species exhibits an unusual disjunct population distribution, with a wide distribution between 106°-115°E and 45°-48°N in the Gobi Desert of eastern Mongolia and what I consider to be a relict population at 20°E 45°N In Hungary, in a sand dune area between the Danube and Tisa Rivers. Length o* body 1.7-3.2 mm, wing 2.0-2.3 mm, o. body 2.5 mm, wing 2.0 mm.

Thorax with dorsum black-brown, dusted with grey pollen, heavier along midline, short white hairs over most of the surface; humeral callus tipped with red-brown; supraalar callus tan; pleural areas black brown dusted with grey pollen; wing light brown, veins brown; haltère stem light brown, knob white, fully rounded; legs with coxae through tibiae dark red-brown, tarsi straw yellow darkening to red-brown at tip, all coxae covered with short white hairs. Abdomen dark red-brown, dusted with grey pollen; posterior margins of segments 2-6 with broad white membranes giving the dorsal surface a solid white appearance, ventral surfaces red-brown dusted with grey pollen; terminal segments red-brown, dusted with grey pollen. Female - head black, covered with grey pollen; eyes dark red-brown; postocular rim broad, covered with pollen; frons broad covered with short anteriorly directed hairs, a median groove extends from the antennái bases to the median ocellus; ocellar tubercle black, covered with grey pollen; ocelli orange; back of head concave; mouthparts and antennae as male.
