side. Scutum ivory. Basal triangles yellowish-tan with reddish medial margins posterior­ly. Scutellum yellowish-tan; large transverse ivory patch in centre and a blackish one ter­minally. In some specimens yellow-tan is wholly or partly replaced by orange-tan. Face whitish with a short transverse orangeous streak by each eye on some distance above base of antenna. Fore wing whitish on clavus, yellowish at costal margin and at apex; brownish or blackish patches dotted or black, the orange ones transversely striated in Fig. 877. Length M 2.65 mm. Male genitalia well sclerotized. Pygofer (Figs 875, 879) bearing solid well pig­mented thick appendage that apparently exceeds the lobe. Postero-dorsal region of the pygofer adorned with sculpture of prominent teeth. Subgenital plate (Fig. 874) short and broad with small apical part and one macroseta subbasally. Connective (Fig. 874) pro­vided with large dorsal crista on manubrium (causing its deformation in slide). Paramere (Figs 874, 876) slightly curved, terminated on quite long straight apical extension, a few short setae in a single row. Penis (Fig. 873) laterally compressed, stem almost straight, narrowing terminally, longer than its single tapering ventral appendage. Basal abdominal apodemes of the sternite 3 (Fig. 878) broad also terminally, almost reaching end of segment 5. Comparison. The newly described L. sharmai differs from all the species of the genus Limassolla Dlab. by single ventral penis appendage. Remarks. All three specimens at my disposal have damaged terminalia and apical parts of fore wings (only one measureable) and the illustrations show the best preserved parts. Penis stem must be longer than the ventral appendage and the extending part got rubbed off. There are rudiments of rich sculpture on pygofer in its posterodorsal part that must be extending judging after extensive damage in this region. At the same time the stout pygofer appendage the most probably is tapering at apex. The new species is named in honour of Dr Baldev Sharma of the University of Jammu, India. Limassolla zhangi sp. n. (Figs 880-888) Type material. - Holotype male: Sikkim, Rumtek, 1800 m, forest, 6. III. 1991, I. Dworakowska (in SMTD). - Paratypes: 3 M 1 F, Rumtek, 1700 m, lamp domes, 1990; 1 F, Gangtok, 1650 m, 2. III; 1 F, Phodong, 1750 m, 7. Ill; 2 M, 2 F, Labrang, 1800-2000 m, forest, 8. III; 1 F, Pelling, 1850 m, 12. Ill, 1991, I. Dworakowska (in NMNH and HMNH). Vertex moderately produced in the midline (Fig. 881). Pattern very variable. Upper side of head and thorax light beige, ochreous or even bright yellow-ochre. Ivory pattern on vertex and thorax more or less as areas deliminated by dots in Fig. 881. Scutum and scutellum coloured as pronotum or brownish-black centrally, ivory patches at anterior angles of scutum and in midline of both. Apex of scutellum always blackish in female, sometimes pale in male. Fore wing whitish with small blackish patches, usually (espe­cially in female) surrounded by golden-yellow or orange-yellow and lesser brownish marks, or yellowish with similar dark pattern and large reddish-orange patches (transver­sely stripped in Fig. 885). Length M 2.85-3.10, F 2.90-3.20 mm.
