Limassolla Dlabola, 1965 Limassolla Dlabola, 1965: 663. Pruthius Mahmood, 1967: 33. Type species. Zyginella pistaciae Linnavuori, 1962. Description. Generic characteristics as in Linnavuori (1962); description based on Linnavuori (1962), Zhang (1990) and Song and Li (2012), with additional features from new species as follows: body small, length 2.0– 3.6 mm; coloration bright, dominant hues red, orange, yellow, scattered dark maculae forming characteristic pattern; vertex with median part conically produced, widest part slightly narrower than maximum width of pronotum (Fig. 1 a, e, i, m, q); face convex, ocelli completely absent (Fig. 1 b, f, j, n, r); coronal suture distinct; pronotum transverse, anterior margin weakly arcuate, posterior margin nearly straight or slightly emarginate; vertex and pronotum usually with red, orange or yellow maculae, maculation variable in form, mostly longitudinal fasciae, lateral spots or irregular patches (Fig. 1 a, e, i, m, q); mesoscutellum small, nearly triangular, base often with small pale or dark maculae, apex darker; forewing elongate, surface smooth, numerous scattered dark maculae, maculation variable in size, number and arrangement within and between species (Figs 1, 2 I, 3 I, 4 I, 5 I, 6 I); third apical cell triangular, base distinctly constricted and petiolate; fourth apical cell apically obsolescent in some species, not reaching wing margin; hindwing hyaline, venation simplified (Figs 2 J, 3 J, 4 J, 5 J, 6 J), submarginal vein anastomosing with CuA near mCuA (Fig. 2 J). Abdominal apodemes well developed (Figs 2 D, 3 D, 4 H, 5 D, 6 D). Male genitalia: Pygofer lobe asetose of macrosetae, lateral surface with thin microsetae (Figs 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, 5 A, 6 A); ventral margin with well-developed ventral pygofer appendage from inner surface, posterodorsally directed, dorsal pygofer appendage present or absent (Figs 2 B, 3 B, 4 B, 5 C, 6 B). Subgenital plate abruptly constricted subapically, ventral surface with a row of macrosetae, or only one (or two) macrosetae basally (Figs 2 A, 3 A, 4 A, 5 A, 6 A). Style broad subbasally, apex pediform (Figs 2 G, 3 G, 4 F, 5 F, 6 G), fine setae on subapex or neck in some species (Figs 2 G, 3 G, 4 F). Connective generally Y-shaped, with short lateral arms and long or short stem; median process small or reduced and absent (Figs 2 F, 3 F, 4 G, 5 G, 6 F). Aedeagus highly heteromorphic, usually with processes; processes divergent in shape and insertion position (Figs 2 E, 3 E, 4 D, 5 E, 6 E). Distribution. Oriental, Palaearctic, Afrotropical, and Australasian regions.
