description: <i>Corynoptera praeparvula</i> Mohrig &amp; Krivosheina, 1983 (figs <i>9–16</i>) M a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d. Ukraine, Volyn Region, outskirts of Solovychi village: 51.06260 N 024.48169 E, altitude ca. 180 m, dry meadow with pine planting, with exhauster, 8.08.2015, 1 Ơ, leg. A. Babytskiy (No 146). D i s t r i b u t i o n: Andorra, Britain Is., Bulgaria, Canary Is., Czech Republic, Germany, Greek mainland, Italian mainland, Slovakia, Spanish mainland (Menzel &amp; Heller, 2013), Turkmenistan (Hippa &amp; Vilkamaa, 1994; Roskov et al., 2017), Ukraine (<b>first record</b>). Diagnosis. Male imagoes reach 1.6 mm in length. Eye bridge consists of 3–4 rows of ommatidia (fig. <i>16</i>). Maxillary palpus consists of 3 segments (palpomeres); basal palpomere with 1 setae and sensory pit (fig. <i>15</i>). Length/width of 4th flagellomere is 1.40–1.80 (fig. <i>12</i>). Thorax is dark, mesonotum setosed (fig. <i>9</i>). Gonocoxa and legs are bright. Abdomen is short and light haired. Tibial organ t 1 is unbordered, with unarranged patch of setae (fig. <i>13</i>). Length of spur/width of tibia: leg 1 = 1.10–1.70, leg 2 = 1.70–1.90; leg 3 = 1.55–1.70. Length of metatarsus/length of tibia: leg 1 = 0.50, leg 2 = 0.45–0.50; leg 3 = 0.45. Length of tibia 3/length of thorax 1.10–1.20. Wing length is 1.1–1.5 mm; width/length of wing 0.40–0.45; stM is barely visible; c/w = 0.60–0.65; r 1 /r = 0.60–0.70; y without or with 1 macrotrichia (figs <i>15</i>). Helter is dark. Hypopygium is pretty short and light haired (fig. <i>11</i>). Gonostylus is conspicuous, with 2 long and 1 shorter megasetae at the apex, also 2 long megasetae with high sockets are present on the inner part of gonostylus ventral side (fig. 10). Gonostylus dorsal side is wing-like extended; inner part of gonostylus is concave (Mohrig et al., 1983; Hippa &amp; Vilkamaa, 1994). <i>Corynoptera praeparvula</i> belongs to the large <i>C. parvula</i> -Group contains 30 species which differ from the other <i>Corynoptera</i> by the presence of one or more spine curving inwards and downwards on the middle and lower half of the gonostylus inner side (Menzel &amp; Mohrig, 2000). <i>Corynoptera praeparvula</i> is similar to <i>C. ignorata</i> Mohrig &amp; Froese, 1992, <i>C. disporata</i> Mohrig, 1994 and <i>C. cruciata</i> (Hippa &amp; Vilkamaa, 1994). <i>Corynoptera praeparvula</i> is distinguishes from: <i>C. ignorata</i> by absence of additional mesial megaseta on the gonostylus, arising from the large basal body of the more apical and ventral megaseta; <i>C. disporata</i> by all apical megaseta situated more ventrally than in <i>C. disporata</i> one apical megaseta located more dorsally; <i>C. cruciata</i> by having more parallel megaseta, unlike <i>C. cruciata</i> megaseta are strongly convergent, crossing or near so, also gonostylus of <i>C. cruciata</i> is more massive and laterally more strongly arcuate (Hippa &amp; Vilkamaa, 1994). N o t e. Vein y bare, r1 with 2–3 macrotrichia (fig. <i>15</i>). Biometric indexes of studied specimen: wing length — 1.16–1.17 mm, wing width — 0.47–0.48 mm; width/length of wing 0.40– 0.41; stM/M-fork = 1.22; r1/r = 0.55–0.59; x/y = 0.88–0.91; stCu/x = 0.17–0.33; c/w = 0.53. Length of spur/width of tibia: leg 1 = 1.02–1.05, leg 2 = 1.42; leg 3 = 1.27. Length of metatarsus/length of tibia: leg 1 = 0.44, leg 2 = 0.42, leg 3 = 0.43. Length of tibia 3/length of thorax 1.11.
