Heteroconis monserrati sp. n. (Figs 6-8) Holotype — Male: "Vietnam, Da Lat, Institute of Biology, 5. XII. 1994., beating from pine trees, 1.: S. Mahunka, Gy. Sziráki, L. Zombori". Deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Description — Head capsule and maxillary palpi light brown, labial palpi white. Eyes rather small, black. Antennae 18-segmented, 1.2 mm long. Scape (Fig. 6) large, four times as long as distally broad. The basal fifth part distinctly narrower than the others both in lateral and dorsal view. Between the eyes, above the unsclerotized part of frons, there are two stout knobs, while between the antennae there is a short, in dorsal view slender, laterally subtriangular "corniform structure" (Fig. 6). Scape, pedicel, the first six, and the last two flagellar segments white, the others dark brown. Dorsal side and apodemes of the thorax brown, its other parts and the abdomen is white. Coxa and trochantin light brown, legs otherwise white. Wing membrane hyaline with a very slight brownish tinge. Length of fore wing 2.6 mm, of hind wing 2.3 mm. Cross veins Rs-M and M-Cuj of fore wing meet M between thickenings. Radial cross vein of hind wing meets Rs on its stem. Male genitalia as in Figs 7-8: sclerotized part of 9th tergite narrow with strong lateral projection caudally. Gonocoxite separated from 9th tergite, and connected distally to the styli, which are elongated plates with very strong bristles on the inner side. Ninth sternite weakly sclerotized, hypandrium indistinct. Ventral projection of 9th sternite and caudal projection of hypandrium acute and apparently melt. Sclerotized part of tenth sternite caudally acute, in dorsal view lyriform, in lateral view sinuated. Penis sclerite moderately large, with rather short proximal and dorsal, and distinct lateral apodemes. Its tube between the proximal and dorsal apodemes S-shaped, while after the dorsal apodemes bent downwards. Remarks — The new species is closely allied with H angustipennis Monserrat, 1982. The main distinctive features of Heteroconis monserrati are: - scape and — among others — the last two flagellar segments white, while in H. angustipennis brown; - the sclerotized part of the 9th tergite has a distinct lateral projection, while this part of male genitalia in H. angustipennis without any projections (Monserrat 1982: Figs 28-29); - tenth sternite of males in dorsal view lyriform, while in H angustipennis caudally it has three rounded lobes. Etymology — I name this new species in honour of Victor Monserrat, the excellent Spanish neuropterologist.
