discussion
Remarks. The new species is similar to Homoneura (H.) ozerovi Shatalkin, 1993 from Russia, but the latter has four stout spines on each lobe of male sternite 5. The new species is also similar to Homoneura (H.) tesquae (Becker, 1895) from Russia, but the latter has male tergite 6 nearly as high as the sum of the previous three tergites (original description from Becker, 1895 and Czerny, 1 932) and the latter has six stout spines on each lobe of male sternite 5 (Papp, 1978: fig. 16).
