Male abdominal apodemes large and extended to 6th segment ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 12-22 ).
Male genitalia. Pygofer lobe wide truncate distally, appendage relatively wide basally, sinuate distally ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 12-22 ). Subgenital plate narrow with several macrosetae on middle part and several microsetae on apical margin ( Fig. 22 View FIGURES 12-22 ). Style with several microsetae on middle of outer margin and distal margin of apex flat ( Fig. 19 View FIGURES 12-22 ). Aedeagus shaft slender and elongate in lateral and posterior view, apex with two pairs of short processes, one extending distad and the other extending basad and bent inward ( Fig. 16, 17 View FIGURES 12-22 ). Connective small and star-shaped with six lobes, including thin anterior median lobe ( Fig. 21 View FIGURES 12-22 ).

Remarks. This new species is similar to two previously described Limassolla species in general appearance. It differs from L. hebeiensis Cai, Liang & Wang, 1992 as follows: 1) pygofer appendage sinuate, 2) style curved gently with several microsetae on outer margin, 3) aedeagus processes short and lower process bent inward, 4) connective with six lobes, 5) male abdominal apodemes extended to 6th segment. It differs from L. diospyri Chou & Ma, 1981 as follows: 1) pygofer appendage sinuate, 2) aedeagus processes curved in caudal view, 3) aedeagus processes branched below apex, 4) connective with six lobes, 5) male abdominal apodemes extended to 6th segment.
Etymology. The specific name is derived from that of the type locality.
