Description
Wyushinamia gen. nov.
Type species: Wyushinamia bifurcata, Zhang and Duan sp. nov.
Stramineous to brown. Pronotum with brown longitudinal stripes.
Vertex with fore margin acutely rounded. Forewing with four apical and three anteapical cells, appendix present.
Male genitalia: Pygofer very elongate, without processes, with numerous macrosetae on posteroventral region. Subgenital plate very elongate with uniseriate row of marginal macrosetae. Style with articulatory arm very long, preapical lobe short, apical process short, curved laterally. Connective linear, fused to aedeagus. Aedeagal shaft elongate, slender, apex bifurcate in dorsal aspect.
Remark
This genus is similar to Polyamia DeLong but the fore wing lacks extra cross veins, the aedeagal shaft is cylindrical, and the subgenital plate has several macrosetae. In Polyamia the fore wing has extra cross veins, the subgenital plate has only 4-5 macrosetae, and the shaft is flat to troughlike (see Sinada & Blocker, 1994).
Etymology The generic name is an arbitrary combination of letters; gender feminine.
