Abstract
ABSTRACT A new species of the genus Gerenia Stål, 1878, Gerenia mizoramia Kumar & Chandra sp. nov., from Dampa Tiger Reserve, Mizoram, India is described here. The new species is similar to the Indian species, G. bengalensis Bhowmik & Halder, 1983, but differs from it in the presence of a dark black oval spot in the middle of tegmen, apex of tegmen comparatively broad and hind wing slightly shorter than tegmen.
期刊介绍:
Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
