Oisedicus maginus sp. n.

( Figures 1 –14)

Diagnosis. As for genus.

Description. Measurements are given in Table 1 . Antennae 8-segmented. Antennal segment III twice as long as segment II; IV and V subequal in length. Compound eye distinctly divided; ommatidia in upper portion larger than those in lower portion. Fore wing widened in apical half. Hind wing widened in apical half. Paronychium lingulate; setae of hind tibia evenly dispersed. Claspers tapered in apical half, shifted dorsad, slightly crossed. Aedeagus with small, hook-like apex.

Etymology. Specific epithet from the Proto-Celtic ‘magino’ meaning big, refers to its huge size in comparison with the others.
