Lygistorrhinidae sp. 2

Material studied: MALAYSIA, Pahang, Genting Highlands, Awana, primary forest, 6.III.1997, M. Jaschhof, 1 Ψ (NRM).

FEMALE. Total length about 2.5 mm. Head similar to Lygistrorrhinidae sp. 1 except for antennal flagellomere with 13 segments, the lateral rows of setae on frons absent and clypeus with about 10 setae; the proboscis is broken from near base. Thorax similar to Fig. 6 A. Anterior pronotum with 7 setae. Epimeron 1 with 7 setae. Laterotergite non­setose. Wing, Fig. 8 A. Wing length 1.74 mm. Legs similar to G. gracilis, Fig. 6 B, C and D, but the legs are generally a little stouter. Tarsal claws of all legs pointed. Abdomen paler than thorax, terminalia, Fig. 12 B.

MALE: Unknown.

Discussion. This female has considerable similarity to the male of Gracilorrhina gracilis but differs significantly by having a colour pattern on the wing (Fig. 8 A). The general structure is similar to that of Gracilorrhina, Blagorrhina, Loyugesa, Matileola, and Seguyola . The lack of mouthpart characters in the single specimen before us makes it impossible to discuss its affinities further.
