Male genitalia feebly sclerotized. Pygofer (Fig. 883) bearing slender appendage slightly broadened subapically (Fig. 888). Postero-dorsal region of the pygofer rounded, adorned with sculpture of minute teeth. Subgenital plate (Fig. 882) of a common shape, its apical part small and two macrosetae near base. Connective (Fig. 882) almost lamellate. Paramere (Figs 880, 882) similar to that of the previous species except setae that are longer. Penis (Figs 884, 887) laterally compressed, bearing two low serrated cristae in its upper part in postero-lateral region of the stem and two short alate lateral extensions subterminally at dorsal margin. Basal abdominal apodemes (Fig. 886) broad, narrowing terminally, nearly reaching end of segment 5. Comparison. The newly described L. zhangi seems to be the most similar to L. lingchuanensis Chou et Zhang from China; differing from the latter by penis stem in lateral view parallel-sided and abrupt at apex. Remarks. The new species is named in honour of Dr Yalin Zhang, the main contributor to the knowledge of Chinese Zyginellini. Ledeira Dwor. Body slim or robust (Figs 890, 894, 905, 906). Vertex much shorter than pronotum and head distinctly narrower than pronotum at its posterior margin. Face short and broad (Figs 898, 907), its transition to vertex broadly roundish (Fig. 893). Lower part of frontoclypeus and anteclypeus of male dilated (Fig. 898), the same region in female of a usual shape (Fig. 907). Fore wing narrowing apicad (Figs 894, 906). The 4th apical cell very large, only slightly smaller than surface of all the other apical cells combined. The 3rd apical cell stalked, 1st and 2nd apical cells short and broad. Venation of apical part of fore wing diverse (Figs 894, 906) to the extreme that terminal part of MP"+CuA' branches off MP+CuA' (in 3 species out of 4) or from the common stalk RP-CuA' (L. pulchella sp. n.) causing that 2nd apical cell becomes bordered by 3 or 4 veinal elements. Hind wing (Fig. 908), (incomplete in all specimens examined so far) as in Zyginella Low. Genital capsule slightly flattened dorso-ventrally, subgenital plate and paramere much extending beyond pygofer (Fig. 889). Pygofer unilobate, with sclerotized ledge at its dorsal margin and pigmented sclerotization terminally (Fig. 899). Pygofer setosity consists of a group of short rigid microsetae dorsally near apex, a group of stout, thin microsetae at cephalo-ventral angle, a group of long feeble microsetae nearby at the ventral margin and scattered minute microsetae on the disk (Fig. 895). Subgenital plate lamellate, tapering, bearing a sclerotized rod in the midlength on its dorsal side and an extension subterminally (Fig. 903). Setosity consists of a few feeble microsetae along its outer margin ventrally (most of them broken off in the single specimen that is illustrated) and rigid small microsetae at apex (2 in all known species) in addition to one small rigid microseta cephalad of the subterminal extension (Figs 891, 892). A row of minute pits along outer margin of narrow terminal part of the plate bearing small setae (missing here). Paramere shape and proportions (Fig. 903) resemble those of Zyginella but setosity (Figs 896, 897) is different. Long setae in a row laterally are accompanied with a few asetosae pits mesally and a few short microsetae at lateral broadening (praeapical lobe).
