Tinodes hajeki sp. nov.

( Figs. 14-19 )

Type material. HOLOTYPE: J, IRAN: KERMAN prov., 5 km NE Deh Bakri , 29°05′N 57°55′E, 1925 m a.s.l., 7.iv.2000, J. Hájek & M. Mikát leg. ( NMPC) . PARATYPE: the same data, 1 J ( NMPC).

Description. Male. Length of forewing 5.8 mm. Colour (in alcohol): Body, wings, and legs yellowish brown.

Male genitalia. Ventral part of segment IX with straight ventral margin and transverse groove, antero-ventral process rectangular, distal end rounded, all in lateral view. Segment X slightly sclerotized dorsally, membranous ventrally. Paraproctal processes short, rod-like, tapered to apex, with a pair of subapical spines. Superior appendage long and thin, slightly curved. Coxopodite expanded into dorso-apical process; harpago finger-like, curved mesally. Basal plate of inferior appendages with long proximal apodeme and paired distal process with bilobed apex, dorsal lobe larger, ventral one smaller with minute spine. Phallus rod-like, straight with parallel margins, distal part tubular.

Differential diagnosis. This species, a member of the reisseri group, is similar to T. karadere Malicky & Sipahiler, 1993 , but differs in the shape of the distal process of basal plate.

Etymology. This species is named in honour of its collector Jiří Hájek, Praha.
