Genus Furcalis Park, gen. nov.

Type species: Furcalis triodonta Park, sp. nov. TL: Cameroon.

Diagnosis. Furcalis Park is also closely related to Lecithocera, sharing similar wing maculation and male genital characters. It can be distinguished from Lecithocera by its different forewing venation with M3, CuA1, and CuA2 free; and a unique process on the ventral margin of valva in the male genitalia.

Description. Venation (Fig. 28): Forewing venation with all veins presented and free, except R4 and R5 stalked; R1 arising from beyond middle; R2 from near upper corner of cell; R3 free; R4 and R5 stalked for about 3/5; R5 to termen; M1 nearly parallel to R5; M2 near to M3 at base; M3, CuA1, and CuA2 free; cell closed. Hindwing with M2 arising from 1/3 across wing, cell very short; M3 and CuA1 stalked beyond middle. Abdomen without zones of spines on tergites, with a long hair-pencil in the 7th abdominal segment; 8th abdominal sternite deeply emarginated at middle on caudal margin, with strong bristles along caudal margin (Fig. 30b). Male genitalia with one or two prominent process(es) on ventral margin of valva medially.

Etymology. The generic name is derived from the Latin, furca (= fork), referring to the fork-shaped process on the valva in the male genitalia. The gender is feminine.
