Abstract

Limassolla andasibensis Yuan & Song, sp. nov. Figs 1 q – t, 6 A – J Description. Body milky yellow (Fig. 1 q – t). Crown pale orange-red (Fig. 1 s). Median area of pronotum pale orange-red, with darker margins (Fig. 1 s). Scutellum dark brown, with one black spot at apex of each basal triangle and at its own apex respectively (Fig. 1 s). Eyes black (Fig. 1 s). Face milky white (Fig. 1 t). Forewing with an inverted trapezoid yellowish-white area at medial inner margin, bordered by bright orange-red patches, apex with dark brown markings (Fig. 6 I). Hindwing hyaline (Fig. 6 J). Male abdominal apodemes extending to 5 th sternite (Fig. 6 D). Male genitalia. Pygofer lobe well developed; ventral pygofer appendage present, curved dorsad (Fig. 6 A, B). Subgenital plate with one macroseta sub-basally, apex with numerous microsetae (Fig. 6 A). Aedeagal shaft with one pair of processes at base, longer than shaft (Fig. 6 E). Preatrium nearly as long as dorsal apodeme (Fig. 6 H). Gonpore at apex, ventrad. Connective with quite small central lobe (Fig. 6 F). Style with foot-like apex (Fig. 6 G). Specimens examined. Holotype: • ♂; Madagascar: Toamasina Province, botanic garden near entrance to Andasibe National Park, 18°55.58'S, 48°24.47'E, 1025 m, 8–16 × 2001, M. Irwin & R. Harin’Hala leg.; GZNU-2001-MA 18-01. Paratypes: • 4 ♀♀, same data as holotype; GZNU-2001-MA 18-02 to 05. Measurements. Male length 2.0– 2.2 mm, female length 2.1–2.3 mm (including wings). Remarks. This new species is close to Limassolla gratiosa (Dworakowska, 1981), distinguished mainly by paired processes arising from the base of the aedeagal shaft and longer than the shaft (Fig. 6 E), a ventral pygofer appendage with several small tubercles apically (Fig. 6 B), and distinct forewing patterns (Fig. 6 I). Etymology. The specific name is derived from the type locality, Andasibe National Park (Toamasina Province, Madagascar).
