Loboscelidia asiana Kimsey, new species 
(Figs. 3, 9) 
Holotype male. Body length 3 mm. Frontal projection triangular 
in front view, appearing truncate in profile (fig. 3); frons smooth 
with sharp fold extending from frontal projection along ocular mar- 
gins to vertex; cervical projection slightly convex in profile; scape 
with narrow transparent flange extending two-thirds scapal length; 
F-I length 2.4X breadth; F-II shorter than I, length 2.2X breadth; 
pronotum longer than broad along transverse and longitudinal mid- 
lines; scutum with complete notauli; propodeal projections angular, 
less than 1 MOD tall; forewing with faint maculation, R1 0.6X, cu-a 
0.3X and Rs 1.4X as long as stigmal vein; femora and tibiae with 
numerous ventral macrochaetae; mid and hindlegs (fig. 9); midfem- 
oral flange extending less than one half as long as femur; midtibial 
flange narrow, two-thirds tibial length; hindfemoral flange slender, 
as long as femur; hindtibial posterior margin bicarinate, flange 
0.75X as long as tibia. Body reddish brown, wings maculate. 
Female unknown. 
Holotype male. — Viet Nam: Dalat, 1500 m, 29 April-4 May 
1960, L. W. Quate (Honolulu). 
Discussion. This species is closest structurally to defecta Kieffer, 
and less so to atra Krombein, based on the V-shaped frontal projec- 
tion below the antennal sockets, Rs less than half as long as stigmal 
vein, R1 and cu-a present and distinct, and F-II more than twice as 
long as broad. It can be distinguished from these species by the 
lengths of cu-a and R1 and shape of the frons.
