03AC8781FFA8A33FFF16FE45AB48FD7C.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. Plutothrix kenobii sp. n. belong to a group of species that have a fore wing with dark fuscous cloud below stigmal vein. This species is very similar to P. coelius; the differences between these species are given in the key. Plutothrix kenobii sp. n. is also similar to the Nearctic species P. ungutta (Girault, 1917) in having a clava with small micropilosity area on C 3 and C 4; fore wing with one dark fuscous cloud below stigmal vein; Mt 2 deeply emarginate medially; but the new species has an eye height 3.05 times as long as malar space (vs eye height 2.50 times as long as malar space); F 1 with 3 rows of sensilla (vs F 1 with 2 rows of sensilla); mid coxa yellowish-brown (vs mid coxa metallic bluish-green).	en	Tselikh, E.
