Abstract

A new genus,Retaldargen. nov.of the family Issidae (Hemisphaeriinae, Hemisphaeriini) is described from Guangxi Province of China. A revised molecular analysis for the Hemisphaeriini based on partial sequences of 18S, 28S, COXI and Cytb, provides evidence for a new lineage within the subtribe Mongolianina. With two subgroups of genera now identified, the monophyly of Mongolianina is discussed from both a morphological and a molecular basis.
