Gena

broad below eye, genal bristle
0.10 mm
long. Apical section of vein R
2+3
0.17 mm
, appendage
0.18 mm
long. Scape plus pedicel are
0.155 mm
, first flagellomere
0.225 mm
long.
Abdominal tergite 2 with a U or V-shaped depression (as long as tergite) medially. Third tergite bears a patch of 9–10 long setae on lateral margin of the abdomen. Surstylus (
Fig. 14
) peculiar: anterior lobe broad and broadly rounded apically, posterior lobe continued caudally into a broad rounded process, tooth large and ventrally directed. Postgonite (
Fig. 15
) curved, apex rounded, apical half of postgonite covered with long pointed scales (i.e. not hairs).
The biological species (form), which I identified as
P. meijerei
(
DUDA
)
and
P. ronkayi
sp. n.
are closely related species. I have named the form, which is from a locality closer to the type locality of
P. meijerei
(
DUDA
)
, as
meijerei
. I have prepared two figures of the male genitalia in order to facilitate further findings of this form. One of the intact males in the Royal
Ontario
Museum can be designated as the
neotype
, if the original type specimen is not found in the future (see
PAPP
1991a

et al

).
