Alebrasca Hayashi & Okada, 1994

Alebrasca Hayashi & Okada, 1994: 267. Type species: Alebrasca actinidiae Hayashi & Okada, 1994, by original designation.

Bhatasca Dworakowska, 1995: 143. Type species: Bhatasca expansa Dworakowska, 1995, by original designation. syn. n.

Remarks.

Dworakowska (1995) established the genus Bhatasca based on the type species Bhatasca expansa Dworakowska, 1995 from Tsyr-feng in Taiwan, and Qin et al. (2011) described Bhatasca rectangulata based on the generic diagnosis provided by Dworakowska (1995). Until now, only two species were included in the genus, widely distributed in mainland China (Hunan, Henan, Gansu, Sichuan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi) and Taiwan. Based on investigation of the descriptions and illustrations by Hayashi and Okada (1994) and Dworakowska (1995) and Bhatasca material deposited in the Entomological Museum, Northwest A&F University (NWAFU), we recognize the genus Bhatasca Dworakowska is a junior synonym of Alebrasca Hayashi & Okada.
