Abstract

The Oriental clusiine genus Phylloclusia Hendel, 1913 is redefined and revised, with four new species (P. hendelisp. nov., P. darlingisp. nov., P. nigroscutellumsp. nov., and P. lanceolasp. nov.) described from Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Phylloclusia is established as the sister genus to the Japanese, Afrotropical, and Australian Tetrameringia McAlpine, 1960 on the basis of newly recognized male and female genitalic synapomorphies. An identification key and illustrations for the six species of Phylloclusia are provided.

Résumé

Le genre de clusiine Oriental Phylloclusia Hendel, 1913 est redéfini et révisé et quatre nouvelles espèces (P. hendelisp. nov., P. darlingisp. nov., P. nigroscutellumsp. nov., et P. lanceolasp. nov.) sont décrites en provenance du Sri Lanka, de Taiwan, de l’Indonésie, de la Malaisie et des Philippines. De nouvelles synapomorphies génitaliques chez les deux sexes indiquent que Phylloclusia est le genre sœur du groupe Japonais, Afrotropical et Australien Tetrameringia McAlpine, 1960. Une clef d’identification ainsi que des illustrations sont fournies pour les six espèces de Phylloclusia.
