Type species. Orthophana tamdaoina View in CoL sp. nov. (here designated).

Diagnosis. Distinguished from the nominotypical subgenus by the coloration, structure of the head, fore wing shape and venation, and the presence of two lateral spines on hind tibia (see the key above).

Etymology. From the Greek noun “φȐpoς” (lighthouse) from which Russian equivalent of “sail” is derived ( MOKIENKO 2007). The fore wing shape of Orthophana reminds a sail.
