description: <i>Kamimuria ziwulinga</i> Li &amp; Li, sp. nov. (Figs. 3–5, 6B, 7B) <b>Adult habitus</b>. General body color pale to brown (Fig. 1B). Head mostly pale brown, interocellar area an inverted triangular brown patch, anterolaterally extending along M-line, Y–shaped. M–line pale, a light brown, triangular area anterior to M-line. Antennae light to dark brown, pedicel yellowish; palpi brownish. Pronotum pale brown, rugosities obscure, pronotal stripe along suture brown (Fig. 3A). Legs yellowish brown. Wings membrane pale brown, veins brown (Fig. 6B). <b>Male</b> (Figs. 3A–3C). Forewing length 13.5–14.0 mm, hindwing length 11.0– 12.1 mm (n=2). Hemitergal lobe slender, finger-like, apex slightly curved upward, ventrally with a few apical spines (Figs. 3B, 3C). Tergum 9 with a large patch of sensilla basiconica covering full length of the tergum. Tergum 8 with a smaller posteromedian patch of sensilla basiconica (Fig. 3B). Tergum 7 without sensilla basiconica, but with small spinous patches in one male (Fig. 3B). Setal brushes present on metasternum and sterna 4–7 (Fig. 7B). Aedeagus (Figs. 3D–F). Aedeagus membranous, basally sac is mostly membranous but on dorsal surface with a wide, light brown sclerite medially and a field of minute spines that is continuous to the ventral surface (Fig. 3D). Distal third with ventral patch of larger spines (Figs. 3D–F), in lateral aspect apex seems enlarged because of a dorsal subapical lobe and an additional distal lobe (Fig. 3F). <b>Female</b> (Fig. 4) Forewing length 17.9–18.3 mm, hindwing length 14.9–15.1 mm (n=5). General color yellow brown (Fig. 4A). Subgenital plate of sternum 8 produced forming a wide triangular plate covering anterior third of sternum 9 (Figs. 4B, 4C). Vagina simple, membranous, oval-shaped. Spermathecal stalk evenly curved, apical half globular with truncate apex (Fig. 4D). <b>Egg</b> (Fig. 5). 417–422 μm long and 208–227 μm wide (n=4). Under light microscopy, chorion dark brown. Scanning electron microscopy depicts egg as barrel shaped with circular cross section (Fig. 5A). Collar short, stalk obscure, rim flanged with 2-3 rows of follicular cell impressions (FCIs) (Figs. 5A–C). Collar short, and opercular end pointed with distinct FCIs only near apex (Figs. 5D, 5E). Micropyles number 3-6, linearly located, rim slightly raised, surrounded by indistinct FCIs (Figs. 5D, 5F). <b>Type material</b>. Holotype: male (CAU), China: Shaanxi Province, Fu County, Ziwuling National Nature Reserve, Yulin Reservoir, light trap, N 35.9877, E 109.3797, 1240 m, 2019.VIII.2, Qicheng Yang. Paratypes: 7 males and 7 females (CAU), same data as holotype; 20 males and 10 females, Shaanxi Province, Fu County, Ziwuling National Nature Reserve, Huaishuzhuang, light trap, N 35.8775, E 108.5773, 1124 m, 2019.VIII.3, Qicheng Yang; 2 males and 34 females (HIST), Shaanxi Province, Huangling County, Shuanglong Town, Xiangfang Village, light trap, N 35.6326, E 108.8751, 1007 m, 2019.VII.31, Jiaojie Wang; 1 female (HIST), Shaanxi Province, Xunyi County, Shimenshan, light trap, N 35.0719, E 108.5388, 1541 m, 2019.VII.24, Qicheng Yang; 1 male and 15 females (HIST), Shaanxi Province, Tongchuan County, Liulin Town, light trap, N 35.0625, E 108.8077, 919 m, 2019.VII.26, Qicheng Yang. <b>Etymology</b>. The specific name refers to the type locality, Ziwuling National Nature Reserve. <b>Distribution</b>. China (Shaanxi Province). <b>Remarks</b>. The new species is similar to <i>K. shaanxinensis</i> Li &amp; Mo, 2018, also of Shaanxi Province, by the similar terga 7–10. However, the aedeagi of these two species are significantly different: in <i>K. ziwulinga</i>, armatures is small sized and median portion of the dorsal surface has a brown sclerite, while in <i>K. shaanxinensis</i>, aedeagal spines are much larger and the mesodorsal portion is membranous (figs. 1c, 1e, Li &amp; Mo, 2018). The egg of the new species is most similar to that of <i>K. fulvescens</i> Klapálek, 1912, but differs by the smooth chorion in the medial two thirds.
