    No full text
    Lepidostoma truncatum sp. n. (Figs 7–12) Description: Body brown, middle and hind legs dark brownish. Scapes (Fig. 10) each 2.91 mm, with two subequal subbasodorsal processes curved toward each other. Maxillary palps (Fig. 10) each 0.98 mm, two-segmented, basal segment three times longer than apical one. Length of each forewing 7.7 mm. Wing venation of this species is similar to that of L ferox and is given in Fig. 12. Male genitalia (Figs 7–10): Apicodorsal margin of segment IX bluntly pointed. Segment X divided by deep and narrow incision reaching to its base; each half bearing dorsolateral and mesal processes: in lateral view dorsolateral processes broad at base, mesal processes rounded and serrated apically; segment X appearing as bilobed structure. Inferior appendages each two-segmented, 1st segment triangular in outline with broadened base, 2nd segment broadened apically with slight apical excision; basodorsal processes absent. Phallobase with small dent at its centre, phallicata slender and cylindrical; parameres much longer than phallus. Diagnosis: The male of this species closely resembles that of Lepidostoma ferox MCLACHLAN, but differs from the latter by having segment IX apicodorsally produced into round lobes, not semicircular lobes; ventrally tergum IX is quadrate, not rectangular. Segment X has an excision only in its apical 1/3rd, not to the middle as in L. ferox. The scapes each have two basal processes, not a single basal process. Maxillary palps are straight, not curved; the 1st segment is straight, not bent, the 2nd segment is cylindrical, not slendrical. Material: Holotype male, India: Himachal Pradesh, Ahla, 2000 m, 11-vii-2010 (MDZPUP). Female and immature stages: Unknown. Etymology: The name of the species is based on truncate structure of the lateral processes of segment X.Published as part of Parey, S. H. & Saini, M.

    Lepidostoma ahlae sp. n. (Figs 19–24) Description: Colour dark brown. Scapes (Fig. 19) each 4.85 mm in length, with two small subbasal processes dorsally. Maxillary palps (Fig. 23) each 1.94 mm, two-segmented, basal segment much longer, apical one with pointed apex, both segments covered with dense setae. Average length of each forewing 7.7 mm. Wing venation as in Figure 24. Male genitalia (Figs 19–22): Segment IX apicodorsally produced into somewhat rounded tip. Segment X with dorsolateral plates broad at base, apically rounded; mesal processes narrow, situated closely to one another with small space between them; in lateral view dorsolateral plates triangular, apically rounded, with slightly serrate ventral margins, mesal processes somewhat dome-shaped, with very broad bases. Inferior appendages each two-segmented, 1st segment broad at base and narrower towards its apex, 2nd segment short with truncate apex; basodorsal processes absent. Phallus with phallobase and phallicata slender, cylindrical in lateral view. Parameres about as long as phallus and with two paramere spines closely adjacent to one another. Wing venation of this species (Fig. 24) similar to that of L. inerme. Diagnosis: The male of this species resembles that of Lepidostoma inerme MCLACHLAN but differs from it by having the dorsolateral processes of segment X in dorsal view rounded, not finger-like, and the mesal processes apically fingerlike, not truncate; when seen laterally, each mesal process appears dome-shaped, not pointed, and each lateral process is rounded, not lobed. Scapes of this species each have two small subbasal processes but those of L. inerme are without any processes. Maxillary palps of this species have the 2nd segment apically tapering, not apically rounded. Material: Holotype male, India: Himachal Pradesh, Ahla, 2000 m, 11-vii-2010, S. H. Parey (MDZPUP).

Maxillary palps (Fig. 17) each 0.97 mm, two-segmented, 1st segment slightly thicker and longer than apical segment, covered with mixed hairs and scales. Length of each forewing 7.9 mm. Wing venation as in Figure 18. Male genitalia (Figs 13–16): Tergum IX apicodorsally produced into triangular projection. Segment X with narrow excision at its centre reaching to its base. Both dorsolateral and mesal processes well developed: dorsolateral processes triangular in dorsal view, mesal processes rounded and serrate in lateral view both pairs of processes appearing subquadrate.

Segment X of this species has its dorsolateral processes triangular, not rounded; when seen laterally, both dorsolateral and mesal processes are of the same length, not of unequal length. The scape of each antenna is relatively shorter than in L. nagana, the basal process of the scape is straight, not angled. The basal segment of each maxillary palp is relatively shorter than in L. nagana. Material: India: Holotype: male, (MDZ), Jammu & Kashmir, Sonmarg, 2900 m, 11-viii-2008.

    No full text
    Lepidostoma kashmiricum sp. nov. (Figs. 1–6) Male: Brown. Scapes (Fig. 6) each 1.44 mm, with 2 processes, both processes situated posteriorly about midlength, basal process slightly shorter than apical process. Maxillary palps (Fig. 6) each 0.96 mm, 2 -segmented, basal segment short, apical segment twice as long basal segment, apex curved. Average length of each forewing 9.7 mm. Wing venation as in Fig. 5. Male genitalia (Figs. 1–4): Segment IX triangular in dorsal view. Segment X, produced into 2 long, slender, finger-like, lateral processes and 2 short and conical, mesal processes. Inferior appendages each single-segmented, its apex 3 -branched; outer main branch with tuft of apical setae, middle branch (probably second article) longer than others and clubbed apically, ventromesal branch broad and with acute apex curved somewhat laterad; also, basodorsal process directed dorsad apically. Phallus long and slanting downwards, phallobase apically rounded; parameres present, parallel with one another; phallicata apically dilated. Diagnosis. The wing venation of this species closely resembles with that of L. armatum (Ulmer) in the L. ferox Branch. However, the new species can be differentiated from the latter by having longer and more slender lateral processes and shorter and conical mesal processes of segment X. Inferior appendages are each apparently 3 - branched, with the central branch (probably second article) longer than the remaining 2. Scapes each have the basal process smaller than the apical process. Etymology. The name of the species is based on the state Jammu & Kashmir from where the type specimen was collected.

Tergum X with sclerotized lateral and mesal lobes, each lateral lobe in lateral view subovate, broad, apically slender and curved backward, bearing multiple sensilla; each mesal lobe elongate, digitate and curved apically. Each preanal appendage setose, broad and semicircular. Phallic apparatus with sclerotized portion long, nearly cylindrical in lateral view (Fig. 26), with tubular phallobase, without any basodorsal expansion, ventral apex weakly sclerotized; endotheca without small endothecal spines inside retracted phallotheca; 2 long spines and single, very thick spine curved and pointed at apex, visible apically in phallotheca in ventral view (Fig. 27); phallotremal sclerite complex not visible in any view; phallotheca bifid apically.
