Abstract

Based on specimens collected in historical times and stored in the insect collections of the Natural History Museum London and the Zoological Museum Hamburg two new subgenera are established Robustaccasubgen. nov. of the genus Peracca Griffini, 1897 and Indoliarasubgen. nov. of the genus Liara Redtenbacher, 1891. Five new species are described: Peracca (Robustacca) nigrifronssp. nov. from Sumatra, Liara (Acanthocoryphus) duratasp. nov. from Hongkong, Liara (Indoliara) dividatasp. nov. from South India, Pseudosubria assamensissp. nov. from Assam and Depressacca kinabalusp. nov. from Sabah. The species Odontoconus robustus Karny, 1923 is newly combined as Peracca (Robustacca) robustus (Karny, 1923) comb. nov. An extended and updated key to the subgenera of the genus Peracca Griffini, 1897 is provided. All specimens are deposited in the original collections.
