yellowish to ochre-yellow. In some females additional brownish patch on anteocular area on considerable distance from base of antenna. Basal triangles golden-yellow to ochreyellow. Fore wing whitish to yellowish with large yellow patches that are often fused. Infuscation in apical region of fore wing indistinct except fuscous mark in c cell apicad of wax-field, in cua subterminally and at apex of clavus. Length M 2.5-2.7, F 2.6-2.8 mm. Penis stem bears two dorso-lateral small extensions at apex of almost straight tubular penis stem and two narrower ventro-caudal ones in addition to little needle-like lateral protrudings at base of the stem ventrally (Figs 409, 414). Paramere with broadened subapical region of its caudal part (Fig. 407). Remark. The bright golden-yellow colouration of fore wing of the holotype might result from the prolonged exposure to heat inside lamp dome. Mitjaevia elegantula sp. n. (Figs 415-425) Type series. - Holotype male: W Sikkim, Pelling, 2000 m, shrubs, 11. III. 1991, I. Dworakowska (in SMTD). - Paratypes: 3 M, same data as the holotype; 1 M, Labrang, 1800-2000 m, forest, 8. III. 1991,1. Dworakowska (in SMTD, NMNH and HNHM). Yellowish with dark grey to blackish pattern as in Figs 416 and 419. Face yellowish with the only darkening below base of antenna. Length M 2.7-2.8 mm. Male genitalia distinctive. Upper pygofer appendage short, tapering to a very narrow apex (Figs 421, 423). Terminal extension of caudal part of paramere (Fig. 418) single, narrow (Fig. 420). Basal seta-less part of subgenital plate very long (Fig. 424), a few peg-like setae on sharply narrowing, short apical part (Fig. 415). Penis stem short, tubular, provided with two solid, latero-ventral appendages at its base (Figs 417, 422). Mitjaevia sikkimensis sp. n. (Figs 426-434) Type material. - Holotype male: W Sikkim, Pelling, 2000 m, shrubs, 11. III. 1991,1. Dworakowska (in SMTD). - Paratypes: 1 M, 2 F, same data as the holotype (in SMTD and NMNH). Comparison. Externally very similar to M. callosa Dwor. Background yellowish. In the new species darkening in hind half of pronotum is larger and takes form of a distinct transverse band almost reaching the hind margin; in fore wing m cell is completely darkened while in M. callosa there is subterminal interruption of darkening. Frontoclypeus brown in its ventral 3/4, with broad light streak in midline; the dark area terminates on a small patch on each side mesally, usually two patches apicad, the one at the border with vertex larger. Two small blackish-brown patches on anteocular area above antenna. Lorae and genae dark brown except a narrow light strike along outer margin of gena and another, triangular one, on inner part of gena above lora at the margin of frontoclypeus. Anteclypeus darkened in its ventral 3/4 centrally. Length M 2.75 and 3.00, F 2.70 and 2.85 mm. Male genital apparatus also very similar to that of M. callosa, only penis stem (Fig. 429) much slimmer in the new species, terminal part of upper pygofer appendage fusiform (Figs 427, 428) rather than sickle-shape as in M. callosa and terminal extensions of
