Paracycloneura sp.

A male specimen we studied has the wing as extensively dark as is found in P. inopinata, while the first antennal flagllomeres are dark with light bases. The slide-mount of this specimen is in poor shape, which makes assessment of genitalic characters difficult. It differs from P. inopinata, at least, in details of the vestiture on the gonocoxal lobes, and in the aedeagus/paramere complex that includes a strongly sclerotized, pointed tegmen. Adequately prepared specimens are needed in order to be certain as to the specific characters of this apparently new species.

Material studied. SO. WL: 1* male, 1* female, Westland N. P., Fox Glacier Village, 23 Oct. 2001, M. Jaschhof.
