Cyrnus , new diagnostic genus cluster

Diagnosis: The members of the Cyrnus diagnostic genus cluster have no apical fork 1 in the forewings and no apical fork 1 and apical fork 3 in the hind wings. The forewing discoidal cell is present. Many species have forewings without crossvein m (i.e. the median cell is open) and hind wings without crossvein s. The gonopod shape is diverse, ranging from broad to slender, short to long, and monolobed, bilobed or polylobed. The 5 extant genera belonging to this diagnostic genus cluster are Adectophylax Neboiss , Cyrnellus , Cyrnopsis Martynov , Cyrnus Stephens and Nyctiophylax .
