Abstract

The mukariine species Mohunia biguttata (Wang & Li, 2003) had been transferred to the subfamily Typhlocybinae, but its tribal placement and generic status remained uncertain. In this study, a new genus, Ommatocyba Yan, Yang & Webb, gen. nov. is erected for Mohunia biguttata as Ommatocyba biguttata (Wang & Li), comb. nov., and placed in the tribe Typhlocybini, new placement, based on wing venation. In addition, a new species of Edwardsiana Zachvatkin, Edwardsiana wanglangensis Yan, Yang & Webb, sp. nov. (Typhlocybini) from Sichuan, China, is described and illustrated, and a key is provided for its separation.
