P. P. Sudhin.</p><p>Etymology. The species name is a noun in apposition originating from the Latin word ‘dentis’, meaning tooth and referring to the presence of a stout retrolateral ventral tooth-like apophysis on the palpal femur.</p><p>Diagnosis. The male copulatory organ of Asemonea dentis sp. nov., is most similar to that of A. cristata Thorell, 1895, from which it can be distinguished by the following combination of characters: femur with a stout retrolateral ventral tooth-like apophysis (see arrow in Fig. 3B) (absent in A. cristata); FA broad, longer than wide, with a bifid distal region (ramified, with a stout basal region and almost fork-like in A. cristata); DTA large and concave, without any spines (relatively small, flat, and bearing two peg-like spines in A. cristata) (cf. Figs 2B–C, 3A–B with figs 11–13, 17–18 in Sudhin et al. 2020). The female genitalia of A. dentis sp. nov., can be distinguished from those of all other Asemonea species by the epigyne with a pair of large, strongly sclerotized, arched projections, covering almost the entire length of the plate, laterally with furrows, giving it a butterfly-wing-like appearance (Figs 2D–F, 3C–D).</p><p>Description.

Figs 5B–C, 6A–B with figs 5–8, 10–11 in Caleb et al. 2018; fig. 1A–C in Lin &amp; Li 2020). The female genitalia of C. nongwar sp. nov. can be easily distinguished from those of all other Colyttus species by the long, inverted U-shaped copulatory ducts and the absence of subdivided spermathecae (Figs 5D–F, 6C–D).</p><p>Description.
