Eubasilissa schmidi sp. nov.

(Figs. 10–14, 24)

Holotype male: Length of each forewing 27–28 mm. Head and thorax dark brown. Labrum with first two segments yellowish, third dark brown; labial palpi yellowish. Colour pattern of wings as in Fig. 14.

Male genitalia (Figs. 10–13): Segment IX subrectangular in lateral view, posterodorsal apex rounded in dorsal view, posteroventral edge produced into rounded lobe with excised apex in caudal view. Segment X with slight short excision near its apex; posteromesal processes reduced, posterolateral processes well developed and fingershaped in dorsal view. Preanal appendages well developed, apically rounded in dorsal view. Inferior appendages triangular, each broad near base, tapering to apex in lateral view. Phallotheca produced into short, pointed, posteroventral lip; endotheca membranous, with sclerite broad basally and acute apically.

Female: Unknown.

Diagnosis. The male of this species resembles that of E. avalokhita Schmid, 1962, but can be differentiated from latter by having segment IX with its posteroventral edge lobe rounded (blade-like in E. avalokhita); segment X posterolateral processes well developed (reduced in E. avalokhita); preanal appendages each finger-shaped (slender in E. avalokhita); and endotheca with broad sclerites (more slender sclerites in E. avalokhita).

Etymology. This species is named in honor of F. Schmid for his great contributions to the taxonomy of Indian Trichoptera .

Distribution. India (Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh).
