Abstract

A new Xyleninae (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) genus Parvispinia gen. n. (Type-species Ammoconia parvispina Tschetverikov, 1904) and three new species Parvispinia barkama sp. n., P. geminus sp. n. and P. parilis sp. n. from China are described. Atrachea parvispina (Tschetverikov, 1904), A. cortex (Alpheraky, 1887) and A. caelestina Gyulai & Ronkay, 2001 are transferred from the genus Atrachea Warren, 1911 (Xyleninae, Apameini) to Parvispinia (Xyleninae, Xylenini); three new combinations Parvispinia parvispina (Tschetverikov, 1904) comb. n., P. cortex (Alpheraky, 1887), comb. n. and P. caelestina (Gyulai & Ronkay, 2001), comb. n. are introduced. The lectotypes for Parvispinia parvispina and P. cortex are designated. Generic checklists for Parvispinia and Atrachea are presented.
