Abstract

A new genus, Cyclomacula Qiao & Wang, gen. nov., is established to accommodate a new species and three new combinations from China: C.medogensis Qiao & Wang, sp. nov., C.glaucinoptera (Collenette, 1934), comb. nov., C.dudgeoni (Swinhoe, 1907), comb. nov. and C.flavimacula (Moore, 1865), comb. nov. Images of adults and genitalia of all currently recognized Cyclomacula species are provided, with illustrations of wing venation of the type species in the new genus. A key to species of the genus is presented, along with DNA barcode data.

Keywords: Cyclomaculamedogensis; DNA barcode; genitalia; identification key; new combination; type species.
