Abstract

Four new species are described in two psilodercid genera, Qiongocera Li & Li, 2017 and Relictocera Li & Li, 2017: Qiongoceraluoxuan Li & Li, sp. nov. (♂♀) from China, Relictocerawugen Li & Li, sp. nov. (♂♀) and R.sigen Li & Li, sp. nov. (♂) from Vietnam, and R.qianzi Li & Li, sp. nov. (♂♀) from Thailand. These genera were previously thought to be monotypic. In addition, one species of the genus Merizocera Fage, 1912 is transferred to Relictocera: Relictoceramus (Deeleman-Reinhold, 1995), comb. nov. (♂♀). The types of the new species are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IZCAS) in Beijing.
