DIAGNOSIS

A species of the exilis -group with black halteres. Veins R 4+5 and M 1 slightly diverging ( Fig. 9 View Fig ). Mid femur anteriorly with distinct ribs ( Fig. 9 View Fig inset). Cerci narrow. Right cercus slightly longer than left cercus. Left surstylus composed of 3 lobes. Left surstylus 1 large, longer and broader than left cercus. Below left surstylus 2 is a bi-lobed structure ( Fig. 10D View Fig ). Left surstylus

2 circular in ventral view, apically set with spine-like setae.

MATERIAL EXAMINED

BULGARIA: 1 ♂ Pamporovo , 1300-1600m, 41.639, 24.697 (BartÁk & Kubík leg.) dissected and figured (habitus and terminalia; MS reference Bul 9) GoogleMaps ; 1 ♂ Rhodopes , Yundola 1300m, pasture 42.063, 23.855, 24 June 2018 BartÁk & Kubík leg., in coll. RBINS GoogleMaps ).

DISCUSSION.

The dorsal extension of the right epandrial lamella is broader and its tip is less acute than in the Belgian specimen illustrated in GROOTAERT (2016). The shape of the second lobe of the left surstylus is also different. However, since the variability is actually unknown nor the barcodes, this variation might be eXplained as a geographic variation.
