0388FB2CFFCEFFE3FD890285FB3DFD38.taxon	description	(Figs 1 – 6) Description: Colour dark brown. Scapes (Fig. 5) each 1.0 mm, short and slightly curved at middle, with single subbasal process dorsally. Maxillary palps (Fig. 5) each 0.97 mm, two-segmented, 1 st segment broad, 2 nd segment slender and densely covered with hair, both segments curved dorsad. Length of each forewing 6.9 mm. Wing venation as in fig. 6 Male genitalia (Figs 1 – 4): Segment IX apicodorsally produced into triangular process. Distal margin of segment X produced into paired dorsolateral and mesal processes: Dorsolateral processes broad at base and apically triangular, mesal processes simple and with truncate and serrate apices, separated from each other by narrow, U-shaped excision nearly reaching tergum IX; when seen laterally mesal processes each appearing as rounded structure having serrated upper edge and non-serrated lower edge. Inferior appendages each 1 - segmented, apically branched, branches of subequal length, lateral branch apically rounded, inner one truncate; basodorsal process slender, cylindrical, with serrated dorsal and ventral edges, half as long as inferior appendage. Phallus with phallobase round, phallicata broader and truncate apically. Diagnosis: The male of this species closely resembles that of Lepidostoma tesarum MOSELY, but differs from the latter by having segment IX more triangular apicodorsally, not rounded. Segment X dorsolateral processes are broad basally, not narrow, and they are apically triangular, not pointed; mesal processes are truncate with serrated dorsal edges, not rounded and without any serration. The phallicata is apically truncate, not rounded. The basal process of each scape is very prominent, not reduced. Both segments of the maxillary palps are curved dorsad and C-shaped, not almost upright as in L. tesarum. The wings of this species resemble those of Lepidostoma destructum ULMER. Material: Holotype male, India: Uttrakhand, Gairsain, 2500 m, 16 - vi- 2009 (MDZPUP). Female and immature stages: Unknown. Etymology: This species is named after the Garhwal Hills in which its type locality is situated.	en	Parey, S. H., Saini, M. S.

0388FB2CFFCCFFE3FD840515FE60F987.taxon	description	(Figs 7 – 12) Description: Body brown, middle and hind legs dark brownish. Scapes (Fig. 10) each 2.91 mm, with two subequal subbasodorsal processes curved toward each other. Maxillary palps (Fig. 10) each 0.98 mm, two-segmented, basal segment three times longer than apical one. Length of each forewing 7.7 mm. Wing venation of this species is similar to that of L ferox and is given in Fig. 12. Male genitalia (Figs 7 – 10): Apicodorsal margin of segment IX bluntly pointed. Segment X divided by deep and narrow incision reaching to its base; each half bearing dorsolateral and mesal processes: in lateral view dorsolateral processes broad at base, mesal processes rounded and serrated apically; segment X appearing as bilobed structure. Inferior appendages each two-segmented, 1 st segment triangular in outline with broadened base, 2 nd segment broadened apically with slight apical excision; basodorsal processes absent. Phallobase with small dent at its centre, phallicata slender and cylindrical; parameres much longer than phallus. Diagnosis: The male of this species closely resembles that of Lepidostoma ferox MCLACHLAN, but differs from the latter by having segment IX apicodorsally produced into round lobes, not semicircular lobes; ventrally tergum IX is quadrate, not rectangular. Segment X has an excision only in its apical 1 / 3 rd, not to the middle as in L. ferox. The scapes each have two basal processes, not a single basal process. Maxillary palps are straight, not curved; the 1 st segment is straight, not bent, the 2 nd segment is cylindrical, not slendrical. Material: Holotype male, India: Himachal Pradesh, Ahla, 2000 m, 11 - vii- 2010 (MDZPUP). Female and immature stages: Unknown. Etymology: The name of the species is based on truncate structure of the lateral processes of segment X.	en	Parey, S. H., Saini, M. S.

0388FB2CFFCAFFE5FD8707B8FE05FAC1.taxon	description	(Figs 13 – 18) Description: Golden brown. Scapes (Fig. 13) each 3.88 mm, with two small subbasal processes dorsally, more distal process slightly curved. Maxillary palps (Fig. 17) each 0.97 mm, two-segmented, 1 st segment slightly thicker and longer than apical segment, covered with mixed hairs and scales. Length of each forewing 7.9 mm. Wing venation as in Figure 18. Male genitalia (Figs 13 – 16): Tergum IX apicodorsally produced into triangular projection. Segment X with narrow excision at its centre reaching to its base. Both dorsolateral and mesal processes well developed: dorsolateral processes triangular in dorsal view, mesal processes rounded and serrate in lateral view both pairs of processes appearing subquadrate. Inferior appendages each two-segmented, 1 st segment apically rounded, 2 nd segment apically excised in dorsal view; basodorsal processes absent. Phallus shorter than parameres, phallobase with anteroventral flange; paramere spines apically pointed and diverging from one another. Wing venation of this species is similar to that of L. nagana and is given in Figure 18. Diagnosis: The male of this species appears close to that of Lepidostoma nagana MOSELY, but differs from the latter by having segment IX triangular apicodorsally, not truncate. Segment X of this species has its dorsolateral processes triangular, not rounded; when seen laterally, both dorsolateral and mesal processes are of the same length, not of unequal length. The scape of each antenna is relatively shorter than in L. nagana, the basal process of the scape is straight, not angled. The basal segment of each maxillary palp is relatively shorter than in L. nagana. Material: India: Holotype: male, (MDZ), Jammu & Kashmir, Sonmarg, 2900 m, 11 - viii- 2008. Female and immature stages: Unknown. Etymology: The name of the species is based on the locality from where the type specimen was collected.	en	Parey, S. H., Saini, M. S.

0388FB2CFFCAFFE8FD5A038EFB59FBF2.taxon	description	(Figs 19 – 24) Description: Colour dark brown. Scapes (Fig. 19) each 4.85 mm in length, with two small subbasal processes dorsally. Maxillary palps (Fig. 23) each 1.94 mm, two-segmented, basal segment much longer, apical one with pointed apex, both segments covered with dense setae. Average length of each forewing 7.7 mm. Wing venation as in Figure 24. Male genitalia (Figs 19 – 22): Segment IX apicodorsally produced into somewhat rounded tip. Segment X with dorsolateral plates broad at base, apically rounded; mesal processes narrow, situated closely to one another with small space between them; in lateral view dorsolateral plates triangular, apically rounded, with slightly serrate ventral margins, mesal processes somewhat dome-shaped, with very broad bases. Inferior appendages each two-segmented, 1 st segment broad at base and narrower towards its apex, 2 nd segment short with truncate apex; basodorsal processes absent. Phallus with phallobase and phallicata slender, cylindrical in lateral view. Parameres about as long as phallus and with two paramere spines closely adjacent to one another. Wing venation of this species (Fig. 24) similar to that of L. inerme. Diagnosis: The male of this species resembles that of Lepidostoma inerme MCLACHLAN but differs from it by having the dorsolateral processes of segment X in dorsal view rounded, not finger-like, and the mesal processes apically fingerlike, not truncate; when seen laterally, each mesal process appears dome-shaped, not pointed, and each lateral process is rounded, not lobed. Scapes of this species each have two small subbasal processes but those of L. inerme are without any processes. Maxillary palps of this species have the 2 nd segment apically tapering, not apically rounded. Material: Holotype male, India: Himachal Pradesh, Ahla, 2000 m, 11 - vii- 2010, S. H. Parey (MDZPUP). Paratypes, India: Jammu and Kashmir, Pahalgam, 3100 m, 28 - viii- 2008; Yusmarg, 2800 m, 01 - viii- 2009, 2 males (MDZPUP). Female and immature stages: Unknown. Etymology: The species name is after its type locality Ahla (Himachal Pradesh).	en	Parey, S. H., Saini, M. S.
