Vertex ochre-yellow. Face ochre-yellow on frons, sides and lower part of frontoclypeus and on anteclypeus, whitish on remaining surface. Antennae whitish. Lower side of body and legs pale yellowish. Pronotum ochre-yellow anteriorly, ochre-brown in midline and posteriorly. Three distinct ivory patches in anterior part of pronotum, one angulate at anterior margin in midline and two roundish ones at sides (Fig. 66), sometimes these patches join. Basal triangles and area postero-laterad of them, brown. Centre of scutum ivory anteriorly, brown posteriorly. Scutellum in most of specimens brownish to brown with whitish areas. Fore wing yellow with a brown pattern as in Fig. 70. Apical part of wing infuscated, apex of cua and 1st apical cell the darkest. Abdomen of female yellowish, sometimes valva slightly brownish. Length M 4.8-5.3, F 5.1-5.2 mm. Penis stem laterally compressed in its upper half, almost parallel-sided in lateral view. Two preatrial appendages more or less sinuate, their bases situated in sequence antero-posteriorly (Fig. 73), overlap in caudal view (Fig. 69). Basal abdominal apodemes of male often reaching end of 5th segment. Comparison. The new species A. victor is closely related and similar to A. sohii Thapa differing by ochre-brown pattern on scutum and scutellum instead only brown colour in the previous species and brown streak along commisural margin of clavus in addition to a streak along inner margin. In A. sohii a triangular patch replaces the latter and the former is missing. Difference in male genitalia include penis stem that is parallelsided in lateral view provided with two preatrial appendages while in A. sohii it is gourdshape with bifurcated single appendage. Alebroides wesleyi sp. n. (Figs 78-88) Type material. Holotype male: Sikkim, Rumtek, 1700 m, lamp domes, 1990, I. Dworakowska (in SMTD). - Paratypes: 1 M, same data as the holotype; 1 M, India, Mizoram, Lunglei, 23. XL 1981, CS. Wesley (in NMNH and UAS). Upper side of head and thorax whitish to yellowish, centre of pronotum darker with a golden tint. In the only specimen with developed pigmentation the longitudinal streak in midline on upper side of thorax covers scutellum except its anterior border and angles, centre of scutum including mesal margins of basal triangles and centre in hind 1/3 of pronotum. Fore wing whitish to yellowish basally. Dark brown streak at commisural margin of clavus widens apicad, slightly extends into cua cell (Fig. 82). Apical cells and apices of longitudinal cells cua and m infuscated, 4th apical cell lighter, apical veins MP' and MP"+CuA brownish. Length M 3.75 and 3.80 mm. Comparison. A. wesleyi sp. n. is the closest related to A. luteus Sohi et Dwor. from S India. The differences are as follows: penis stem slimmer (Figs 78, 83), anal tube appendage (Figs 79, 80, 84) thinner and longer and ventral pygofer appendage (Figs 87, 88) slightly shorter and bearing minuscule serration on its dorsal margin. Basal abdominal apodemes of male (Fig. 81) seem to be longer in the new species than in A. luteus. Remarks. The most characteristic in the new species is penis structure. Specimens from Sikkim lost their natural colouration owing to prolonged exposure to heat inside lamp domes. The new species is named in honour of the collector, Dr C. S. Wesley.
