            <p> Diamesa solhoyi new species</p>
            <p>(Figs. 1A–E)</p>
            <p>Type material: Holotype male labelled: China: Tibet, Rongbuk, 5000 m a.sl., 10.Jul. 93, leg. T. Solhøy, det. E.Willassen, EW41. Paratypes with same locality as holotype except: 7.Jul.1993, EW69, 1 female; 8– 10.7.93, EW164, 1 female; 8– 10.7.93, 1 female. All specimens in Academica Sinica, Zoological Institute, Beijing, China.</p>

            <p>Female imago (n = 2)</p>
            <p>Head: Antenna with 7 flagellomeres. AR 0.28–0.39. Scape occasionally with 1 seta. Pedicel with 2 or 3 setae. Dorsal sensilla coeloconica on flagellomeres 1–3. Coronal suture distinct.

R1 with 19–26 setae and 2 sensillae campaniformia. R2+3 with 2 or 3 sensillae campaniformia. R4+5 with 18–21 setae and 3 or 4 sensillae campaniformia. Alula with 7–9 setae. Squama with marginal fringe of about 55 setae.</p>
            <p>Legs: Comb of hind tibia with 17 setae. Tarsi 1–3 respectively with following numbers of apical/preapical pseudospurs: 2/8–13, 2/0–4, 2/0 on p1; 2/14–16, 2/7, 2/0–2 on p2; 2/ 20–22, 2/8, 2/4 on p3.

            <p>Genitalia (Fig. 1D–E): Sternite VIII with 14–17 setae on each side, gonocoxapodeme fairly distinct. Gonapophysis VIII with slightly elevated ridge and weak flap that barely covers base of ventrolateral lobe. Seminal capsules with short, sclerotised neck, capsule surface with weak granulation. Seminal ducts relatively short. Gonocoxite IX with thumblike projection curving mesad, 16–19 setae mainly on projection. Tergite IX deeply divided into 2 protrusions, each with about 16 or 17 setae near posterior and lateral margin. Segment X more or less concealed by projection of GcIX, posterolateral protrusion somewhat oval in lateral and triangular in ventral view. Cerci ear­shaped in lateral view.</p>
            <p> Remarks: Males of  D. solhoyi may be readily identified by the unique combination of genitalic characters. Although the flagellomeres are lost in the single available male specimen, the size of the pedicel and the conspicuous anterolateral projection of the tentorium (Fig.1A) indicate that the male antennae are normal sized with 13 flagellomeres. </p>
            <p>Females may be recognised by the thumb­shaped gonocoxite IX, which has a roughly trapezoid profile in lateral view.</p>

            <p>Hypopygium: Sternapodeme arced. Pars ventralis moderately large (Fig. 2B); with longitudinal striae, but without microtrichia. Aedeagal lobes sickle­shaped, mesal margin well sclerotised. Basal plate of gonocoxite weakly developed. Basimedial setal cluster absent. Medial field almost completely devoid of microtrichia dorsally; dorsal edge of mesal margin (Fig.2A) with ornamentation of thornlike microtrichia that are particularly dense on the ventral side (Fig.2C); ventromesal margin of gonocoxite with setae and weak microtrichia (Fig. 2B) Gonostyli somewhat flattened and twisted, apex with sclerotised point and 1 megaseta.

Anal point inserted between tergal protrusions; base broad with microtrichia; distal part slender and nude, apex slightly expanded with 1 distal peg­sensilla (Fig. 2D).</p>
            <p>Female imago (n = 1, putative association)</p>
            <p>Head: Antennae partly lost. Pedicel with 5 or 6 setae. Coronal suture complete. Temporal setae more or less contiguous, about 40 on each side, including 9 postorbitals. Eyes pubescent, moderately projecting dorsomesally. Clypeus 167 m long, 152 m wide, with 24 setae. Palps lost. Tentorium with conspicuous anterolateral projection.</p>
            <p>Thorax: Antepronotum with 9 lateral setae. Acrostichals absent. Dorsocentrals 16 in 1 row, except anteriorly; 9 prealars behind callus, and about setae on 40 scutellum. Protuberance of epimeron II with 8 setae.</p>

Tergite IX completely divided into 2 plates, of which broader lateral parts are slightly more sclerotised; each plate with about 20 relatively short setae. Segment X slightly protruding laterad. Cerci rounded in lateral view.</p>
            <p> Remarks: The male of  D. aculeata is superficially similar to  Diamesa bertrami Edwards and also to the Himalayan  Diamesa kasaulica Pagast described by Serra­Tosio (1983). The ornamentation of the mesal edge and otherwise smooth medial field may serve as diagnostic features of male  D. aculeata . Both  D. bertrami and  D. kasaulica have hairy eyes as opposed to the weakly pubescent eyes in  D. aculeata . The only female specimen with pubescent eyes in the Rongbuk material presumably also belongs to  D. aculeata . Antennae, palps, and most of the legs are lacking and the wings were preserved in a folded state. A short, partial Cox II sequence was recovered from the male of  D. aculeata , but sequences were not obtained from the putative female. </p>
            <p>Additional material: China: Tibet, Rongbuk, 5000 m a.sl., 9.Jul. 1993, Malaise Trap, leg. T. Solhøy, det. E. Willassen; 1 female (IZAS).</p>

            <p> Diamesa sp. Himalaya1 </p>
            <p>(Figs. 3A–B)</p>
            <p>Female imago (n = 2)</p>
            <p>Head: Antenna with 7 flagellomeres. AR 0.50–0.53. Pedicel with 2 setae. Dorsal sensilla coeloconica on flagellomeres 1–3. Coronal suture distinct. Temporal setae weak, 32–36 in number including 11–13 postorbitals, frontals slightly separated from remaining temporals. Eyes hairy, moderately projecting dorsomesally. Clypeus 123–133 long, 123–133 wide, with 11–16 setae. Lengths of palpomeres (µm): 38, 76, 109, 118, 241. Second palpomere with distal campaniform sensilla. Third palpomere with sensory pit. Tentorium with conspicuous anterolateral projection.</p>
            <p>Thorax: Antepronotum with 6–9 lateral setae. Acrostichals absent. Dorsocentrals 9–11 in 1 row, 7–9 prealars behind callus, 39–41 scutellars. Protuberance of epimeron II with 4–6 setae.</p>
            <p>Wing: Length 3.14–3.19 mm. VR 0.85–0.89. Punctuation of membrane visible with 125x magnification. Costa moderately produced beyond R4+5. R with 12 setae. R1 with 13 or 14 setae and 2 sensillae campaniformia. R2+3 with 2 sensillae campaniformia. R4+5 with 10 or 11 setae and 4–6 sensillae campaniformia. Alula with 7 or 8 setae. Squama with marginal fringe of about 32–35 setae.</p>
            <p>Legs: Comb of hind tibia with 13 setae. Tarsi 1–3 respectively with following numbers of apical/preapical pseudospurs: 2/0, 2/0, 0/0 on p1; 2/10, 2/2, 0/0 on p2; 2/14, 2/4, 0/0 on p3. Hind leg with dense sensilla chaetica distributed from 0.08 to 0.63 on in ta1. Ta4 cordiform.</p>
            <p>Genitalia (Figs. 3A–B): Sternite VIII with 16–20 setae on each side. Gonocoxapodeme fairly distinct, with caudally displaced separate part running near posterior margin of gonapophysis. Gonapophysis VIII with flap composed of 2 parts, a mesal part with acute projection, and a lateral tonguelike lobe separated by rugulose cavity near base of ventrolateral lobe. Seminal capsules with short, sclerotised neck, capsule surface with weak granulation. Seminal ducts relatively short. Gonocoxite IX with 26–28 setae distributed from base to apex over longitudinal ridge; projection at apex relatively weak. Tergite IX deeply divided into 2 plates, each with 11 or 12 setae and a knoblike projection posterolaterally. Segment X with prominent protrusion directed slightly anterolaterad. Cerci somewhat boot­shaped in lateral view.</p>
            <p> Remarks: The female genitalia of this species are unique but the specimens cannot at present be associated with any males of  Diamesa . I refrain from describing it as a new species because there are several possible candidates of Himalayan  Diamesa with unknown females. The concave margin of the gonapophysis is particularly distinctive. It makes the flap appear more or less with two pointed lobes. The somewhat rugulose area between these lobes extends to a cavity beneath the flap and may fit the ventral projection of the cerci during oviposition. The characteristic shape of the cerci seems similar to a species described (Tokunaga 1966:fig.7b) from Afghanistan as  Diamesa sp. near confluens Kieffer. </p>

            <p>(Fig. 3C)</p>
            <p>Female imago (n = 1)</p>
            <p>Head: Antenna with ultimate flagellomeres lost. Pedicel with 1 seta. Dorsal sensilla coeloconica on flagellomeres 1–3. Coronal suture complete. Number of temporal setae 34, including 7 postorbitals; frontals and orbitals slightly separated from remaining verticals. Eyes hairy, fairly small and moderately projecting dorsomesally. Clypeus 130 m long, 170 m wide, without setae. Palps short; lengths of palpomeres (µm): 33, 55, 115, 72, 77. Second palpomere with or without distal campaniform sensilla. Third palpomere with sensory pit. Tentorium tube­like without anterolateral projection.</p>
            <p>Thorax: Antepronotum with 11 lateral setae. Acrostichals absent. Dorsocentral setae, 10, in 1 row, 11 prealars behind callus, 36 scutellars. Protuberance of epimeron II with 14 setae.</p>
            <p>Wing: Length 4.49 mm. VR 0.94. Punctuation of membrane visible with 125x magnification. Costa moderately produced beyond R4+5. R with 15 setae. R1 with 12 setae and 3 sensillae campaniformia. R2+3 with 1 sensillae campaniformia. R4+5 with 11 setae and 2 sensillae campaniformia. Alula without setae. Squama with marginal fringe of about 45 setae.</p>
            <p>Legs: Comb of hind tibia with 19 setae. Tarsi 1–3 respectively with following numbers of apical/preapical pseudospurs: 2/8, 2/2, 2/1 on p1; 2/21, 2/19, ­/­ on p2; 2/25, 2/10, 2/2 on p3. Hind leg with about 170 sensilla chaetica distributed from 0.14 to 0.95 on in ta1. Ta4 cordiform.</p>

Gonocoxapodeme distinct and running almost to anterior margin of genital chamber. Gonapophysis VIII with caudomesally projecting flap covering most of ventrolateral lobe. Seminal capsules large, ovoid, with short neck; capsule surface with weak granulation. Seminal ducts relatively long. Gonocoxite IX with massive rounded projection bearing close to 30 long setae. Tergite IX completely divided into 2 narrow plates, each with 10 setae. Segment X with small, ventrally directed protrusion. Cerci more or less oval in lateral view.</p>
            <p> Remarks: The short palps, the relatively small clypeus which is devoid of setae, and the massive projections of the gonocoxites are distinctive features of this species. Sensilla chaetica distributed nearly to the distal end of ta1 is also unusual in  Diamesa . Spermathecae of similar size have previously been observed only in the  Diamesa dampfi group (Willassen &amp; Serra­Tosio 1988). Characteristics of the head, including the tubelike tentorium, indicate that the male of  Diamesa sp. 2 has short antennae. I know of no likely candidates among described species and suggest that males of this species remain undiscovered. </p>
