Material examined. Figure 1. Montenegro: Žabljak, Durmitor Mt., Crna lake, spruce forest along a small stream, 1448 m a.s.l., 43.1486° N, 019.0882° E, 11 May 2010, Kolcsár L.-P. leg., 1 male, DIPT-JS-2015-0308. Romania: Vanvucești, Vârtop Mt., Vârciorog waterfall, mixed forest, 1000 m a.s.l., 46.4714° N, 022.7376° E, 25 September 2014, Kolcsár L.-P. leg., 1 male, DIPT- JS-2016-0259.

The species has a rather restricted Central European range ( Chandler 2013), here reported for the first time from Montenegro. An adult male of the species was collected from a cave in Romania ( Burghele-Balacesco 1968, as R. matilei ), but immature stages are unknown. Rymosia in general dwell in forests or wetlands (Chan- dler 1994), and larvae of some species are associated with fungal fruiting bodies ( Jakovlev 1994). This species has

been illustrated only twice ( Dziedzicki 1910, Burghele- Balacesco 1968, as R. matilei ). Both illustrations are rather general, and photos of the male hypopygium of R. lundstroemi are provided here. Ventral lobe of gonostylus is short and black, truncated ( Figure 14); gonocoxites internally with prominent, black mesial hooks ( Fig. 15); parameres about as long as cerci, having black, pointed apical spines ( Figs 16, 17).
