455E72627208B04B6DA4FDCEBCAEF835.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis: the habitus of Pseudoinouela meyi Efetov & Tarmann, sp. nov. is similar to that of the species of the genus Inouela Efetov, 1999, but clearly differs in the genitalia structure. The most important difference is a single uncus, while both species of Inouela have double uncus. Flight period. January, April, November.	en	Efetov, Konstantin A., Tarmann, Gerhard M.
