ABSTRACT A new genus for Edessinae close to Hypoxys is described.
A new genus for Edessinae close to Hypoxys is described. Similihypoxys gen. nov. Cunha & Fernandes is proposed for five new species, and one transferred from the genus Hypoxys : Similihypoxys infulatus (Breddin, 1904) comb. nov. (type species), S. connatus sp. nov. , S. guianensis sp. nov. , S. ineffigiatus sp. nov. , S. quasinfulatus sp. nov. and S. sulcatus sp. nov. Here, we describe a male of S. infulatus . The species of the genus are distributed in French Guiana, Brazil, Peru and Bolivia. An identification key and illustrations of the species of the new genus are provided here.
