Genus Dryodurgades Zachvatkin

Durgades (Dryodurgades) Zachvatkin, 1946: 146 . Type species: Agallia reticulata Herrich-Schäffer , by original designation. Dryodurgades Zachvatkin : Wagner, 1963: 1.

Diagnosis. Crown of head sinuate behind eyes, medially shorter than next to eyes. Face including eyes wider than long. Ocelli closer to adjacent eye than to each other. Pronotum arcuate, shagreen. Forewings with accessory cross veins both in clavus and corium. Male pygofer without processes. Anal collar appendage well developed. Aedeagus long, compressed or cylindrical with apical, often bearing branched processes, dorsal apodeme well developed.

Distribution. Palaearctic and northern regions of Oriental region.

Remarks. The reticulated forewing venation and long compressed or cylindrical aedeagal shaft with apical processes with primary and secondary branches distinguish this genus from other genera of Agalliini . Sinoagallia gen. nov and Purvigallia gen. nov. from China also have reticulated forewing venation. Sinoagallia can be distinguished by the strongly pitted thorax and forewings as well as genitalic features and Purvigallia by the structure of the male genitalia. Three species of this genus are recorded from China.
