Abstract
Study of the type specimens of both nominal species included in the poorly known Perlodinae genus Protarcys Klapálek, 1912 proved them congeneric with the four known species of Neofilchneria Zwick, 1973. Consequently, Protarcys is the senior synonym of Neofilchneria, and belongs to Arcynopterygini instead of Perlodini. Four new combinations are stated: Protarcys cheni (Zhang, Li & Li, 2024), P. erberi (Zwick, 1980) (in: Zwick & Sivec 1980), P. uncata (Kimmins, 1947), P. wanglanga (Chen, 2019). The two original species, P. caudata Klapálek, 1912 and P. lutescens Klapálek, 1912 are redescribed on the basis of type specimens. The genus is known from China (Hubei, Sichuan, Xizang and Yunnan), India (Sikkim) and Nepal. Keys are presented for distinguishing the species of Protarcys.
期刊介绍：
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
