Lygistorrhinidae sp. 1 (female)

Material studied: MALAYSIA, Pahang, Cameron’s Highlands, 1400 m, Malaise trap, 27. XI. 1994, Th. Pape, 1 Ψ ( NRM).

FEMALE. Total length about 2 mm. Head. Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 B. Antennal flagellomere 4, Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 C. Unicolourous light brown, darker brown around ocelli. Thorax similar to Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 A. Anterior pronotum with 5 setae, episternum 1 with 5 setae, laterotergite with 2 setae. Legs similar to B. blagoderovi , Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 B and C. Tarsal claws of all legs pointed. Wings similar to B. blagoderovi , Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 E. Wing length 1.27–1.28 mm. Abdomen similar to B. blagoderovi , terminalia, Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 A.

MALE: Unknown.

Discussion. This female resembles the species of Blagorrhina and Gracilorrhina . It differs from both by having only 10 flagellomeres, from the former by having the mouthparts much shorter and by having a totally setose scutum, and from the latter by the separate CuA1 and CuA2. We leave the placement of this species until either its male or the females of the other related groups are discovered.
