description: <i>Kamimuria turbinata</i> sp. n. (Figs. 55-58, 86-87) <b>Material examined.</b> Holotype &amp;male; and 4 &amp;female; paratypes from Thailand, Chiang Mai Province, Doi Inthanon National Park, Huai Sai Lueng, 98° 35’ E, 19° 23’ N, 1060 m, 20 March 2002, I. Sivec (PMSL). Additional paratypes: <b>Thailand</b>: Chiang Mai Province, Doi Inthanon National Park, Huai Mae Pan Noi, 98° 25’ E, 18° 31’ N, 750 m, 3-4 April 2003, I. Sivec, 2 &amp;male;, 1 &amp;female; (PMSL). Unknown Province, Huey Nam Ru, 98° 35’ E, 19° 23’ N, 1400 m, 18 April 1989, 2 &amp;female; (PMSL). Unknown Province, Ban Yang Bong, 19 March 1992, H. Malicky, 1 &amp;female; (PMSL). <b>Adult habitus.</b> General body color pale yellowbrown; head coloration uniform without distinctive pattern, except for dark rings around ocelli. Palpi pale, first antennal segment pale, 2 nd dark brown and rest of flagellum dark brown in basal half becoming pale beyond mid-point. Pronotum uniformly pale brown with slight relief from obscure rugosities. Femora pale except for narrow dark apical band; tibiae pale brown, tip of last tarsal segment dark brown (Fig. 58). <b>Male.</b> Forewing length 17 mm. Hemitergal lobes slender, curved slightly and finger-like (Fig. 55); hemiterga with a few sensilla basiconica clustered at tip and additional ones scattered along dorsal margin. Tergum 9 with a large median patch of sensilla basiconica clustered from posterior margin to mid-point of tergum; median field of tergum 9 darker than lateral areas. Tergum 8 with a smaller median field of sensilla basiconica set near posterior margin. Aedeagus membranous, apex trilobed; triangular spines cover much of aedeagal surface particularly along ventroapical margin (Fig. 57). <b>Female.</b> Forewing length 32 mm. Subgenital plate a small mesal projection with slight median emargination or shallow notch. Plate covers less than a third of sternum 9 (Fig. 56). <b>Egg.</b> Inversely conical in shape with wide, short collar and pointed lid. Chorion coarsely pitted throughout; pits becoming slightly smaller below micropylar line; ca. 13 rows of pits in lateral aspect, ca. 6-7 pits per row above micropylar line, and ca. 6-7 pits per row below line. Collar with narrow rim, surrounded by small, pit-free zone (Figs. 86-87). <b>Etymology.</b> The species name refers to the inversely conical shape of the egg. <b>Diagnosis.</b> This species is most easily distinguished by the inversely conical egg with chorionic punctations becoming somewhat smaller below the micropylar line. In hemitergal lobe features this species most closely resembles <i>K. jariyae</i> but these species differ in aedeagal shape (Figs. 31, 57) and in other characters (e.g. subgenital plate shape).
