| contents | <p><b><i>Euphranta nigripeda</i> (Bezzi)</b></p><p>(Figures 5–6)</p><p><b>Diagnosis:</b> The female of <i>E. nigripeda</i> was described well by Bezzi (1913) from India and since then no male has been recorded. The male recorded in this study is 4.0 mm long, with head fulvous brown, front with inverted Ushaped mark with median yellowish vitta, above lunule reddish brown, antennae 0.4 mm long, dark brownish except flagellum (0.3) slightly lighter in colour. Flagellum dorsally mostly straight and ventrally curved and apically slightly pointed (fig. 5B). Arista lightly plumose, face yellow with concavity below each antenna. Black setulae present on either side of facial margin, palpi with black setulae and proboscis with yellowish setualae.All setae black, 2 frontal, 1 orbital, 2 vertical, 1 genal, 2 postocellar and 4–5 weakly developed postocular. Scutum black, postpronotal lobe, notopleuron, suture, postsutural lateral and medial vittae yellowish and pleuron reddish brown. Medial black vitta slightly anterior to dorsocentral setae, basally broader and extending beyond prescutellar acrostichal setae. Scutellum yellowish, subtriangular and disc slightly darker. All legs yellowish fulvous, setulose, fore femora with two rows of dorsal setae and one row on ventrolateral side. Wing (fig. 5E) 3.8 mm long, described well by Bezzi (1913). Full complement of thoracal setae except presutural supra-alar absent, dorsocentral setae placed behind postsutural supra-alar setae. Setae: 1 postpronotal, 2 notopleural, 1 postsutural supra-alar, 1 dorsocentral, 1 prescutellar acrostichal, 1 intra-alar, 1 postalar, 2 scutellar, 1 anepisternal, 1 anepimeral and 1 katepisternal. Abdomen yellowish brown, setulose, tergites I & II slightly darker laterally, tergites III & IV with broad lateral patches and tergite V entirely black, posterior margin fringed with 6 setae.</p><p><b>Male genitalia:</b> Epandrium arched keel shaped with elongated surstylus in posterior view (fig. 6C), 3–4 rows of setae on posterodorsal side, proctiger setulose with longer setae on posterior margin, higher than epandrium, lateral surstylus longer than medial surstylus, latter ending in two thick striated prensisetae situated between posterior and anterior lobes of lateral surstylus (fig. 6D & E). Anterior lobe of lateral surstylus longer and more rounded at apex than the posterior lobe, 3–5 long setulae present on inner side of anterior lobe and 3–4 widely placed setulae with annulated base present on outer side of posterior lobe of lateral surstylus. Aedeagus 1.8 mm long excluding glans (0.3 mm) of phallus, acrophallus well developed, preputium broad and anteriorly with two separate, elongate sclerites forming preputial cavity (fig. 6F), membranous subapical lobe present below the acrophallus and basal lobe reduced.</p><p><b>Material examined:</b> 1 ♂, on <i>Artemisia</i> sp., INDIA, Himachal Pradesh, Solan, Nauni, 30°51′47″ N 77°10′7″ E. 28.iii.2024, Maneesh Leg.
