genae, sides of frontoclypeus, centre of lower part of frontoclypeus and whole anteclypeus, brown. Areas at border of fronto- and anteclypeus lighter. Fore wing brown, waxfield blackish. Caudal margin of female abdominal sternite 7 deeply incised in the midline, milky greyish, other sternites blackish. Legs brownish. Male not measureable, F 2.85 and 3.00 mm. Male genitalia unique. Penis base resembles that of S. elongata sp. n. but in the new species the stem dorso-ventrally compressed and provided with one central and two lateral biaramose processes (Figs 474, 478). Paramere with terminal part slim, apical extension long, tapering, adorned with fine transverse furrows (Figs 475, 476). Upper pygofer appendage solid, slightly exceeding the lobe and curved in its midlength (Figs 472, 481). Salka kokárda Sohi et Mann 30 M, 17 F, W Sikkim, Pelling, 2000 m, 11. III. 1991,1. Dworakowska. Salka pygmaea sp. n. (Figs 482-490) Type material. - Holotype male: W Sikkim, Pelling, 2000 m, shrubs, 11. III. 1991,1. Dworakowska (in SMTD). - Paratypes: 5 M, 7 F, same data as the holotype (in SMTD, NMNH and HNHM). Body form and colouration of upper part of head and thorax as in 5. jarucha sp. n. but slimmer and darker. Light areas at anterior part of pronotum distinct only in midline and it is ochre-brownish as are small transverse patches in midlength of pronotum. Centre of scutum and scutellum ochre-brownish. Face of female whitish in ventral part laterally, brownish-beige dorsally; W-shaped dark brown patch at lower parts of lateral frontal sutures; outer regions of inner parts of genae and sides of frontoclypeus brown; anteclypeus dark brown. In male centre of anteclypeus (ventrad of the dark brown W mark) might be slightly ochre. Fore wing dark brown with light areas, veins dark, waxfield blackish. Seventh sternite of female greyish, with blackish line in midlength; a shallow notch in midline of its caudal margin forms two rounded lobes. Length M 3.00-3.20, F 2.75-3.10 mm. Comparison. Paramere of the new species (Figs 485, 488) resembles the same of S. jarucha, with only the furrows deeper. Penis (Figs 484, 486) similar to that of S. tricera Dwor., but its post-canaliferous part bearing a short curver apical process and long subapical, bifurcated ventral process while in S. tricera there are three short symmetrical apical processes.
