Poecilosomella pallidimana species group

Genal seta distinct. Fore tarsi white, only fore basitarsus is – at least partly – black. Hind tibia black or dark brown, i.e. without pale rings. Wings patterned. False vein from cubital vein seems to close a cubital cell. Costal vein terminates at conjunction with R 4+5, or slightly beyond it. Male sternite 5 with a large mediocaudal hairy process, which may bear thicker setae caudally (Fig. 9). Subepandrial sclerite high. Apical half of surstylus in 2 lobes, caudal lobe (process) long and rather thin with a comparatively small apical thorn. Postgonite rather long, broadened at its middle (Figs 7, 13).

Contrarily to my former grouping (PAPP 1990), P. hyalipennis HACKMAN, 1965 does not belong to this group (cf. Figs 52–57).
