Abstract

A new genus Viridiflavoritia Huang & Horie, gen. n. is described to accommodate a new species, V. koxiae Huang & Horie sp. n. from Mt. Simian, Chongqing, southwestern China and Mt. Tianping, Guangxi, southern China. A comparative is made with its related taxa. Adult and genitalia of the aforementioned taxa are illustrated.
