Electrofoenops , new genus

TYPE SPECIES: Electrofoenops diminuta , new species .

DIAGNOSIS: Similar to Electrofoenus but differs in tridentate mandible; forewing with 1cu-a basal to M-Cu split, thus producing short 2M+Cu prior to origin of 1M and 1Cu; and with 2m-cu meeting second submarginal cell slightly apical to cell’s midlength such that 2M is longer than 3M.

ETYMOLOGY: The new generic name is a combination of Electrofoenus , type genus of the tribe, and the suffix - ops, meaning, “relating to appearance.” The gender of the name is feminine.
