Diagnosis
The genus
Pusulissus
can be differentiated from all other genera of
Parahiraciina
by the following combination of characters:
(1) the elongate frons (at least 1.2 times as long in midline as wide) with median carina extending from dorsal margin almost to frontoclypeal suture and without a black tubercle in the middle of the disc;
(2) the tegmina distinctly widest in the basal ⅓, not subparallel nor regularly rounded;
(3) the vertex with anterior margin in dorsal view only very slightly angularly convex or straight;
(4) the anal tube of male dorsoventrally flattened and wide at midlength;
(5) the aedeagus rather simple, with a single pair of ventral processes curved anterodorsad.
Note
The genus was described by
Bourgoin & Wang (2020)
to include two new species from North
Vietnam
(
Cao Bang Province
) and southern
China
(
Guangxi Province
), respectively. By synonymizing the genus
Flatiforma
Meng, Qin & Wang, 2020
under
Pusulissus
,
Gnezdilov (2022a)
transferred three additional species from
China
into the genus.
