Diagnosis. See Lohse (1974a) and Hoebeke (1988).

Discussion. The type species of Fusalia has all diagnostic characters of the genus Thamiaraea (particularly, very distinct labial palpi), and is conspecific with Thamiaraea lira Hoebeke, 1988 . Therefore, Fusalia is a junior subjective synonym of Thamiaraea .
