Abstract

Trichocateres fasciculifer n. gen., n. sp., a new member of the tribe Lophocaterini (Trogossitidae), of very distinct appearance, is described from Assam (India) and northern Laos. The new genus is most closely related to Lophocateres Olliff, 1883 and Indopeltis Crowson, 1966. A key to the genera of Lophocaterini is provided.
