Sheath of phallus is broad. Phallus upright, distal portion covered by numerous short spines. Epandrium elongate, basally quadrate, thinner in distal half, with 5 elongate bristles on inner tip. Cercus rhomboid, basal and anterodorsal margins smooth, posterodorsal margin irregularly serrate. Distal side with U-shaped incision, internally at tips of U with strong short setae. Female. Colour pattern of head and thorax as in male. Middle tibia without elongate ventral bristles. Abdomi- nal tergites brown with some lighter circular spots, ster- nites clear. Genitalia unique. Last abdominal segment uniformly brown, with white ventral, hook-shaped ap- pendage (Figs 5-6, compare female of spec 3). Measurements. Body length S mm, $ mm. Wing length <S mm, $ mm. Derivatio nominis. From insuetus (latin=unusual), con- cerning the shape of male and female genitalia. Relations and remarlas. It is difficult to decide whether males and females belong to the same species, but the abundance and amount of specimens of both sexes made it most probable for this species. The shape of the post- gonite is unique, especially its elongate distal appendage and the construction of the phallus. In females the distal part of the abdomen with a broad dorsal 'plate' and the elastic elongate ventral appendage is unusual. It is simi- lar to the female of Chelifera spec. 3, which differs in thoracic colouration. Chelifera miiltiseta Wagner & Leese sp. nov. (Figs 8-11) Material.
