Figs 97–100

Syntypes. 7 males, 3 females. Germany and Poland .

Diagnosis. Length of body. 6.0–7.0 mm (male, female). Head. Male dichoptic, frons broad, more than one-third of head-width. Frons dark brown. Fronto-orbital plate, face, parafacial and gena silver pruinose. Ocellar triangle weakly brown, straight and reaching lunule. Male fronto-orbital plate and parafacial with a few setulae.Antenna and arista dark brown; bare on apical third. Palpus yellow, abruptly enlarged towards apex, very large at apex. Vibrissa long. Thorax. Scutum brown, with 5 faint vittae. Postpronotum and notopleuron grey dusted. Dorsocentrals 2+3. Haltere yellow. Calypters white. Legs. Mostly brown; femoro-tibial joints yellow; tarsi yellow, mainly on ventral surface; fore tarsomere 1 with a dorsal finger-like projection. Fore tibia without a posterior median seta. Mid femur with 1 posterior preapical seta. Mid tibia with 1 median posterior to posterodorsal seta; without anterodorsal and anteroventral setae. Hind tibia with 1 median anterodorsal, without anteroventral and posterodorsal; 1 dorsal preapical. Arolium and pulvillus reduced. Wing. Costal spine indistinct. Vein M straight. Abdomen. Sternite 1 setulose.

Remarks. This species can be identified with the key by in Hennig (1960) to Palaearctic Lispe . The male and female terminalia were illustrated by Hennig (1960, text-figs 92, 112, 130, plate 19 fig. 371, plate 20 fig. 406). It belongs to the tentaculata -group of Lispe (Hennig 1960) , a group with very peculiar characters such as palpus very broad at apex, abruptly enlarged; lower katepisternal fine and closer to the posterior one; fore tibia without median seta; mid tibia without anteroventral, but with 1 posterodorsal; male tarsomere of fore leg with a ventral finger-like projection. It can also be identified with the keys by Vikhrev (2011a and 2014) to the Palaearctic species of the tentaculata -group. The cercal plate was illustrated by Vikhrev (2011a, fig 1.1).
