Hallicis Adamski View in CoL , new genus

Type species.— Hallicis bisetosellus Adamski , by present designation. Hallicis is known only from Costa Rica.

Description.— Hallicis possesses a unique combination of male features that include: base of dorsal part of valva developed into a large upturned lobe, bearing 1−2 large, spinelike, apical setae; phallus and sclerite of phallus acutely curved from middle; and proximal flange absent. This combination of features differentiates Hallicis from all other Blastobasinae .

Etymology. The generic name Hallicis is derived from the Latin hallex, a masculine noun meaning a great toe, and refers to the digitate process originating from the base of the male valva of the genitalia.
