Abstract

Based on a cladistic analysis, a new genus of Agathidini, Agathacrista Sharkey, is proposed and its phylogenetic position hypothesized. Two previously described (Agathacrista cancellata, Agathacrista depressifera) and three new species (Agathacrista sailomi, Agathacrista winloni, Agathacrista krataeii) are included. The distribution of Agathacrista is limited to the Oriental region and southern portion of the eastern Palearctic.
