Ruíltidia gen. n. Type-species: Rufitidia trinotata sp. n. Only male known. Vertex slightly produced anteriorly, parallel-sided. Head narrower than maximum width of pronotum. Coronal suture distinct. Pronotum several times longer than vertex (Fig. 446). Outlines of profile of pronotum and vertex make an almost right angle with the line of face, transition vertex to face broadly rounded (Fig. 452). Face broad, lorae comparatively small, lateral frontal sutures complete, slightly convergent near border to vertex, anteclypeus slightly depressed ventrally (Figs 450, 452). Fore wing (Fig. 455) without distinct veins on clavus, 1st apical cell narrowing apicad and the 2nd broadening [other details, as well as structure of the hind wing unknown because of damage of the material]. Dorsal bridge quite narrow, its tergal part desclerotized. Anal tube very short, not reaching end of pygofer, sclerotized are only tergal and pleural parts of 10 segment (Fig. 445). Genital capsule elongated, cylindrical, well pigmented except parts of 10 and 11 segments and subgenital plates. Base of the anal tube joins the meso-ventral edge of upper pygofer appendage, short lateral ligament between end of the anal tube and dorsal apodeme of penis (Figs 445, 449, 454). Subgenital plate exceeding caudal margin of pygofer. Pygofer lobe elongated, well integrated, only tergal part detectable owing to sclerotized ledges (Fig. 461). Upper pygofer appendage quite firmly attached to the main part of tergite (Figs 454, 459). Setosity consists of a large group of feeble microsetae dorsad of ventro-cephalic angle of the lobe, a few similar microsetae on tergal part and others scattered caudally; a few small rigid microsetae on mesal side of the pygofer lobe near its caudal extreme (Fig. 449). Subgenital plate elongated, tubular and narrowing in apical part (Fig. 458), sculpture scarce but distinct, setosity reduced, setae absent from large part basally. In the available material a few comparatively small and not pigmented macrosetae in a row and a few feeble marginal microsetae are preserved (Fig. 448). Connective well sclerotized, biarmate, with reduced central lobe (Fig. 457) but the central attachment distinct (Fig. 458). Paramere slim, narrowing at both ends, its cephalic part shorter than any other, several sensory pits on caudal part, praeapical lobe minute (Figs 447, 451). Penis stem very large, bearing well sclerotized appendages, manubrium short, gonopore ventral, penis apodeme short (Figs 453, 456). Basal abdominal apodemes poorly developed (Fig. 460). Remarks. The new genus superficially resembles Frutioidia Zachv., however its unique structures, viz.: tubular subgenital plate with reduced setosity, firm attachment of upper pygofer appendage, well integrated parts of pygofer and rudimentary basal abdominal apodemes indicate separate generic identity. Rufitidia trinotata sp. n. (Figs 445-461) Type material. - Holotype male: Sikkim, Rumtek, 1700 m, lamp domes, 1990, I. Dworakowska (in SMTD). - Paratype: 1 M, same data as the holotype (in NMNH). Vertex ochre-yellow or orange-yellow centrally, paler yellowish toward eyes. Broad dark brown to blackish-brown longitudinal streak in the midline accompanied with two small roundish patches laterally (Fig. 446). Face ochre-yellow centrally, whitish laterally.
