Abstract
Hypsipteryx vasarhelyii sp. n., belonging to the small dipsocoromorphan family Hypsipterygidae previously containing only three recent and one fossil species, is described from the southern part of Vietnam. The new species was extracted from Berlese samples collected in a mixed forest of pines and broad-leaf trees. It seems to be more closely related to the two African species, H. machadoi Drake, 1961 and H. ugandensis Stys, 1970 than to the Oriental H. ecpaglus Drake, 1961. An identification key to all known species of Hypsipterygidae is provided. The homologies of the wing venation of recent and fossil Hypsipteryx are discussed. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
