Genus Neogergithoides Sun, Meng & Wang, 2012

Neogergithoides Sun, Meng & Wang, 2012: 43 [described, illustrated, key to Hemisphaeriini genera].

Type species

Neogergithoides tubercularis Sun, Meng & Wang, 2012 by original designation.

Diagnosis

The genus Neogergithoides can be differentiated from all other genera of Hemisphaeriini by the following combination of characters:

(1) the hind wings unilobous, slightly shorter than the tegmina but not rudimentary;

(2) the frons about 1.5 times as long as wide, with a median carina and without tubercles along lateral margins;

(3) the vertex longer than wide but not produced into a cephalic process;

(4) the clypeus elevated medially but not laminate and not projecting anteriorly;

(5) the pygofer without spine on posterior margin.

Species included

Neogergithoides baviana Constant & Pham, 2015

Neogergithoides grootaerti Constant & Pham, 2015

Neogergithoides scapularis sp. nov.

Neogergithoides tubercularis Sun, Meng & Wang, 2012

Note

The Vietnamese species of Neogergithoides were recently reviewed by Constant & Pham (2015). The species in this genus should be identified based on the male terminalia characters.
