Type material: Holotypus () and 7, 9 - paratypes: TAIWAN: Hualien Hsien: Taroko N. P., Nanhushi Hut , 2220m, 8.V.1990, A. Smetana (T 48) . Paratypes: 6: as HT, 12.V.1990, idem (T 55) ; 1: ibidem 2200m, 11.V.1990, idem (T 53) ; 2, 6: Ridge SE Nanhushi Hut, 2700m, 11.V.1990, idem (T 52).- HT and PTT in coll. Smetana (Ottawa), PTT also in cP and cTang .
Description:Sameasin S. perpusillus nov.sp. (see above).
Length: 2.4-2.9mm (forebody: 1.3-1.4mm).
PM of the HT: HW: 27.7; DE: 14; PW: 20.5; PL: 20; EW: 24.8; EL: 21; SL: 16.
Male: Ventral characters as in S. perpusillus . Aedeagus (fig. 26), median lobe triangulary narrowed toward rounded apex, expulsion hooks connected medially; parameres longer than median lobe, with 7-8 setae in apical quarter.
Female: Sternite 8 obtusely triangular at posterior margin. Valvifer with a moderately long tooth apicolaterally. Spermatheca (fig. 51).
Comparative notes: In most respects very similar to S. perpusillus , but the abdominal punctation denser and slightly less fine: punctures on tergite 4 as large as basal cross section of antennal segment 3, interstices distinctly smaller than punctures, punctures of tergite 7 slightly larger than one eye facet near medial eye margin, interstices distinctly smaller than punctures.- A reliable identification of this species is only possible by examining the sexual characters.
Etymology: Since this species is extremely close to S. perpusillus I name it " perpropinquus " (Lat.= very close).
