Rhyacophila horvathmargiti
sp. n.
(
Figs 1–5
,
8–9
)
Body length of male
9 mm
, forewing length
11 mm
, forewing width 3.5 mm, length of antenna
18 mm
. Body, antennae, palpi and wings dark brown, abdomen and legs darker brown, genitalia dark brown (
Figs 8–9
).
Male genitalia
(
Figs 1–5
,
9
): Apicodorsal lobe of segment 9 long and stump-like in lateral view, conical in dorsal view (
Figs 1–2
). Anal sclerite evenly broad, curving upwards, as long as apicodorsal lobe of segment
9 in
lateral view (
Fig. 1
). Apical band claw-like, slender and pointing downwards (
Fig. 1
). Aedeagus tubular with thin distal part (
Figs 3–5
). Paramere thin not longer than broad portion of aedeagus (
Figs 4–5
). Ventral lobe of aedeagus shorter than aedeagus and paramere and it closely adheres to aedeagus (
Figs 4–5
). Base of first joint of inferior appendages broad, dorsal and ventral edges concave and convex, resp. and of almost the same length as second joint of inferior appendages (
Fig. 1
). Upper and lower edges of second joint of inferior appendages concave (
Fig. 1
). Second joint of inferior appendages resembles carving knife.

Rhyacophila horvathmargiti
sp. n.
male genitalia: 1= lateral view; 2 = apicodorsal lobe of segment 9 and second joint of inferior appendages, dorsal view; 3 = ventral lobe of aedeagus and second joint of inferior appendages, ventral view. (Abbreviations: a.b. = apical band; aed. = aedeagus; a.l. = apicodorsal lobe of segment 9; a.s. = anal sclerite; f.j. = first joint of inferior appendages; s.j. =
second joint of inferior appendages)
Differential diagnosis: This species is similar to
Rhyacophila langdarma
SCHMID
, 1970
(
Figs 6–7
) but differs from it in that:
– distal end of anal sclerite not broad and not longer than apicodorsal lobe of segment
9 in
lateral view;
– apical band shorter with curved and pointed apex;
– distal part of aedeagus forms tube without slightly bending downwards; – proximal part of second joint of inferior appendages broader with definitely curved dorsal and ventral edges and not subrhomboid.
Derivatio nominis: This species is named after my wife
