Abstract

Baiyueriusgen. nov., a new genus of the subfamily Coelotinae F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893 is described, including five new species: B. daxisp. nov. (♀), B. pindongsp. nov. (♂), B. tamdaosp. nov. (♀), B. zhupingsp. nov. (♂) and B. zuojiangsp. nov. (♂♀), from southern China and northern Vietnam. Our molecular phylogenetic analyses support Baiyuerius gen. nov. as monophyletic and as a sister group of the newly established genus Yunguirius Li, Zhao & Li, 2023.
