Hypopygium (Figs 2-3). Anal point strong, 143 µm long, 88 µm wide at base. Tergite IX including anal point with 5 setae. Laterosternite IX with 4 setae. Pallapodeme 43 µm long, trasverse sternapodeme 60 µm long. Gonocoxite 163 µm long, interifor volsella triangular. Gonostylus 71 µm long, megaseta 14 µm long. HR 2.31, HV 4.30. Figures 1-3. Parametriocnemus fortis sp. n., male. 1 wing 2 hypopygium(dorsal view) 3 hypopygium (ventral view). Remarks. The species is similar to Parametriocnemus stylatus (Kieffer) in the structure of the hypopgium, but can be distinguished by having much stronger anal point. Distribution. The specimen was collected in Tibet in Palaearctic China.
