Genus
Arcofuzia
Wei, Shih et Ren
gen. nov.
Type
species:
Arcofuzia cana
Wei, Shih et Ren
sp. nov.
Differential diagnosis:
Forewing extremely wide, Sc thick and without branches, with many small crossveinlike reticulations that are more distinct than in
Fuzia
; wing venation rich (43 to 54 veins at margin), more than average venation in
Fuzia
; intercalary veins thick, distinct all over wing surface; anal field with distinct diagonal kink; with distinctly cambered markings located near the apex of forewings from anterior of R to the anterior of CuA, forming a crescent.
Etymology:
Arcofuzia
is a combination of
arco-
(Latin for cambered), referring to its cambered markings near the apex of forewings, and the
type
genus name ‘
Fuzia
’; gender feminine.
Remarks
: The new genus differs from
Parvifuzia
Guo & Ren,
2011
in having larger body size and rich forewing venation. The new genus can be distinguished from
Fuzia
Vršanský, Liang & Ren, 2009 by forewing markings, thick Sc, many small but very distinct crossvein-like reticulations, and diagonal kink in the anal field. The new genus is similar to
Colorifuzia
Wei, Liang & Ren (in press) in body size, rich forewing venation and forewing markings, but differs mainly by the shape of the markings, the anal field diagonal kink, presence of numerous small crossvein-like reticulations and thick, unbranched forewing Sc.
