Genus Tarsophlebia Hagen, 1866

Tarsophlebia Hagen, 1866: 65 .

TYPE SPECIES. — Heterophlebia eximia Hagen, 1862 , original designation of Hagen (1866) by monotypy.

OTHER SPECIES. — We transfer Tarsophlebia neckini Martynov, 1927 into the genus Turanophlebia . Tarsophlebia westwoodii Hagen, 1850 from the Lower Liassic of Gloucestershire in England was correctly transferred to the heterophlebioid genus Liassophlebia by Tillyard (1925).

EMENDED DIAGNOSIS. — Nel et al. (1993) proposed a diagnosis, erroneous in some points. We emend it as follows: primary antenodal braces stronger than secondaries, as in other Tarsophlebiidae (contra Nel et al. 1993); cubito-anal areas of fore and hind wings with four rows of cells or less; 16 or less postnodal crossveins; less than ten secondary antenodal cross-veins in hind wing; and IR1 relatively short.

REMARKS

Nel et al. (1993) noted that the genus Turanophlebia is very close to Tarsophlebia .
