Nemoura magniseta View in CoL sp. n.

( Figs. 7-8 View Fig )

Material examined. Holotype ♂ from Sapa , Fan Si Pang Mountains, Lao Cai Province, Vietnam, 25-30 March 1995, W. Mey ( ZMB).

Adult habitus. General color brown. Basal antennal segment pale, second antennal segment dark brown, rest of antennae uniformly brown. Head dark brown. Pronotum brown with some darker rugosities. Legs uniformly pale brown.

Male. Forewing length 6 mm. Terga 9-10 without conspicuous setation. Epiproct slightly longer than wide and bears two pairs of slender apical lobes ( Fig. 7 View Fig ); slender, straight inner lobes extend beyond outwardly directed, and more heavily sclerotized lateral lobes. Outer paraproct lobe large, unarmed, but with a small mesoapical projection; inner lobes small and unarmed ( Fig. 8 View Fig ). Cercal segments curved strongly inward; sclerotized outer margins bear a low knob in basolateral third; inner margins bear a single prominent seta at midlength. Vesicle of moderate length; greatest width near apex ( Fig. 8 View Fig ).

Female. Unknown.

Larva. Unknown.

Etymology. The species name refers to the enlarged inner marginal cercal seta.

Diagnosis. This species appears distinct from others in the genus by virtue of the enlarged, spine-like seta projecting from the inner cercal margin and by the small rounded knob on the outer cercal margin ( Fig. 7 View Fig ). The thick setal-like projection on the ventral cercal margin suggests this species is a member of the Cercispinosa Complex recognized by Baumann (1975).
