S. Mahunka szerk.: Folia Entomologica Hungarica 60. (Budapest, 1999)
The insects studied were prepared on microscopic slides, or preserved in alcohol. The holotypes of new species are deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest (HNHM), the paratypes in the Plant Protection Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest (PPI). Terminology follows that of Morrison (1925 and 1952), except for some new characters found in the present work. RESULTS Newsteadia topali sp. n. (Fig. 1) Material examined — Holotype: female, India, Kurseong, (Darjeeling Distr., North Point), 1967, Leg. Gy. Topái, No. 171. Paratypes: 3 females from the same collection as the holotype. Two females, India, Kurseong, (Darjeeling Distr.), 18.10.1967, Leg. Gy. Topái, No. 169. Other material: One female, India, Shillong Bishnupur, No., CIEA 14399. This specimen is very similar to holotype of N. topali, however, the labium is very narrow (Fig. lb) owing to this, it was not included into the type series, needs further study and collecting material. Description of adult female — Mounted specimen (Fig. 1): Holotype adult female 1.2 mm long, 0.8 mm wide. Antennae 4-segemented, 1st segment 144 urn long, 2nd segment 102 um long, 3rd segment 173 urn long, and apical segment 163 pm long, with 5 hairlike setae on segment 1, with 5 hairlike setae 96 urn long on apical segment, apical seta 144 urn long, with two short subapical setae, medial sensory seta 58 urn long, Venter: Labium 192 urn long (Fig. lc, in comparison with N. nepalensis Fig. la, and N. topali? Fig. lb). Stylet loop as long as labium. Legs: 1st coxa 96 urn long, trochanter-femur 315, tibia-tarsus 340 urn long, claw 38, claw digitules 7 pm long, 2nd coxa 102 pm long, trochanter-femur 332, tibia-tarsus 465 pm long, claw 38, claw digitules 7 pm long, 3rd coxa 115 pm long, trochanter-femur 373, tibia-tarsus 540 pm long, claw 41, claw digitules 8 pm long, with spiniform setae; without flagellate sensory setae near tibial sensorium; trochanter with 4 sensory pores on each surface. Ovisac band complete; wax plates almost absent on the thorax and head. Coxal depressions weakly developed, mesad of each coxa, separate, with a small cluster of hair-like setae, wax spines, and quadrilocular pores. A very special, deep depression 101 pm wide, and 115 pm deep, with quadrilocular pores and hairs near the ovisac wax plate band. Near the anterior thoracic spiracles a cluster of quadrilocular and simple pores, 3-5 pm wide, diameter of anterior thoracic spiracles 28 pm. Hair-like setae few, scattered in medial areas of thorax. Quadrilocular pores 6 pm in diameter; quadrilocular and multilocular pores present in wide bands within ovisac band and scattered between wax plates. Abdominal spiracles five. Dorsum: Wax plates in loose bands on surface, divided in the midline. Spines at the margin of wax plate elongate, v/ith apically rounded apex, 14 pm long. Hair-like setae present in marginal clusters near posterior edges of marginal wax plates, and near anterolateral and anteromedial edge of each dorsomedial wax plate, 14 pm long. Quadrilocular and simple pores scattered between wax plates, long, and short tubular ducts, 7-3 pm long, present in wax plates. Anal ring with rows of pores; longest anal ring seta 38 pm long, shorter than length of anal ring; ring 51 pm wide, and 60 pm long. The species is named after the collector, György Topái. Comments —N. topali is similar to A r . loebli, the difference is the presence of a special deep depression in front of the ovisac band.
