Fig. 2. Apatania atnathira n. sp.: A = male genitalia lateral, B = phallic apparatus lateral, C = male genitalia dorsal Limnephilus lakshaman sp. n. (Fig. 3) Male (in alcohol). General appearance dark. Head and thoracic sclerites fuscous, legs luteous. Fore wing moderately broad and elongate, only slightly dilated at the apex, apical margin obliquely truncate. Membrane colour stramineous. Pterostigmal, anal area and along the veins of Rl Cul and Cu2 flavously spotted. Four to six small helveolus points on all of the nine apical veins. Discoidal cell on fore wing extremely long. Fore wing length: 16 mm. Male genitalia. Eighth tergum with developed posterodorsal spinate process and with characteristic setal alveoles of less pigmented circular shape, outstanding on the fuscous background. Dorsal strap of the ninth segment narrow with uniform width overhanging the main body of segment at an angle of about 80°. The body of ninth segment subtriangular in lateral aspect, short, straight truncate dorsad, straight rectangular posteriad and rounded anteriad. Superior appendages triangular in lateral aspect, quatrangular in dorsal aspect with dark and median curving corner tip. Intermediate appendages of the tenth segment robust, quadrangular in lateral aspect with dorsoapically produced dark corner. Inferior appendages almost completely fused to the ninth segment, free upper portion upward directed and tapering into heavily sclerotized spiniform apex. The posterior configuration of the inferior appendages clearly inverted S shaped in lateral aspect. Aedeagus head parted, parameres produced two distal branches fringed dorsally with long setae. This nice dark species belongs to the lunatus species group and is quite close to L. ponticus McL. described from Mesopotamia. Fore wing, however, with markings of flavous patches, spinate posterodorsal process on eighth tergum as well as intermediale ap-
