A. Kasapoǧlu 20 VIII. 1999 ”. Specimen dry mounted; aedeagus glued with insect glue to the same card.</p> <p>Diagnosis (male): Habitus as in Fig. 1. Length: 2.2 mm. Externally, this species is quite similar to H. schmidi Jäch &amp; Díaz, 2001, from which it can be distinguished by the smaller size (males of H. schmidi are usually at least 2.4 mm long) and by the male tibiae: protibia less strongly dilated distally, mesotibia very slightly more curved, and metatibia more slender, less strongly flattened, projection on mesial face less distinctly pronounced.</p> <p>The holotype of the new species is somewhat teneral and therefore considerably paler than the type material of H. schmidi.</p> <p>Aedeagus (Fig. 2): Total length: ca. 470 µm. Main piece ca. 380 µm long; distinctly angulate (lateral view); basal half stout with acute tooth­like projection on ventral face, apical half slender, irregularly sinuous; with a cluster of about four moderately long setae on small hump on apical half. Phallobase distinctly asymmetrical. Distal lobe with two conspicuous long appendages: 1) rather strongly sclerotized, laterally flattened, apically recurved, very long, and 2) less strongly sclerotized, rather flagellum­like, shorter. Parameres inserted close to phallobase; right paramere not very strongly enlarged apically, foot­shaped, with marginal fringe of long setae; left paramere longer, very strongly enlarged in apical half, with marginal fringes of long setae and with few very short setae and very conspicuous scale­like structures.</p> <p>The aedeagus is not unsimilar to that of H. schmidi (see Jäch &amp; Díaz 2001: Fig. 8), but the main piece is much longer and lacks the prominent ventral projection.</p> <p>Discussion: Due to aedeagal and external similarities, the new species obviously belongs to a complex of species including H. eichleri d’Orchymont, 1937 (see Jäch 1988: Fig. 7, misidentified as H. carducha) and H. eucnemis Janssens, 1971 (see Janssens 1971: Fig. 2, as “ H. euscelis ”), H. orientalis Breit, 1916 (see Jäch 1987a: Fig. 2), H. persica Janssens, 1981, H. schmidi, H. taxila Janssens, 1962 (see Jäch 1987a: Fig. 3), H. waldheimi Jäch, 1987b (see Jäch 1987b: Figs. 4–5), and probably also H. gressa d’Orchymont, 1944 (see Jäch 1988: Fig. 18), H. mariannae Jäch, 1992 (see Jäch 1992: Fig. 40) and H. terebrans Jäch, 1992 (see Jäch 1992: Fig. 12). This complex of species is here tentatively named H. eichleri species complex.</p> <p>Phylogenetically, H. emineae is obviously united with H. eichleri, H. persica, H. schmidi, and H. waldheimi by the presence of a dense brush of setae on the mesial face of the metatibia.</p> <p>Distribution: So far known only from the type locality in the province of Antalya, southwestern Turkey.</p> <p>Etymology: Named for Emine Özkayaoǧlu, second authors niece, who helped to search for this species.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8C3487BC4856044FF66D5148A91DFB4C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
