Abstract

In this paper, we describe a new genus, Phyllomictis gen. nov., to accommodate a new species of the tribe Mictini from southern China, Phyllomictis chinensis sp. nov. The new genus is morphologically similar to genera Derepteryx White, 1839 and Helcomeria Stål, 1873 but shows substantial genetic divergence and differs in the pronotum, hind femora, and hind tibiae. We discuss the potential distribution range and relationships, and provide a key to the genera of Mictini in China.
