( Figs 2, 7, 12, 17 , 29–36 ) Body pale ( Fig. 2 ). Eyes white and face yellowish ( Figs 2, 12 ). Crown with 2 circular white patches near anterior margin and extending to face; longitudinal patch along coronal suture white ( Fig. 7 ). Pronotum with 5 white patches obscure in shape and boundary. Scutellum with basal triangles and apex orange ( Figs 2, 7 ). Forewing nearly transparent with few small brown spots on inner margins; 3 large patches on clavus orange ( Figs 2, 17 ). Abdominal apodemes extending to middle of 5th sternite ( Fig. 29 ). Male genitalia : Pygofer side with ventral process developed and surpassing dorsal margin of lobe; several microsetae on disc and base of ventral margin ( Fig. 30 ). Subgenital plate wide with single long macroseta at base, a row of fine setae along outer margin subbasally and a row of rigid setae along mid-line from middle part to subapex ( Figs 31, 34 ). Paramere medium long with part distad of preapical heel moderately long and straight; numerous microsetae scattered along central part ( Figs 32, 34 ). Connective without median anterior lobe, stem relatively long ( Figs 33, 34 ). Aedeagus short with preatrium well developed; shaft tubular with longitudinal ridge on each side, apex irregularly rounded with membranous duct. Gonopore apical ( Figs 35, 36 ). Specimens examined. Holotype : ♂ , China , Shandong Prov. , Yantai , Mt. Kunyu , 500m , 21.vii. 2001 , coll. Dao- zheng Qin . Paratypes : 14 ♂ & 18♀ , same data as holotype . Measurement. Male, 2.8–2.9mm (including wing). Etymology. The new species is named after its type locality “Kunyu”, Shandong , China . Notes. This species belongs to the Limassolla multipunctata group and resembles L. uncata sp. nov. , but differs from the latter in having a longer pygofer ventral process and wider subgenital plate, in lacking a median anterior lobe on the connective and in having a longitudinal ridge on each side of the aedeagal shaft.
