Abstract

This paper deals with two genera of the Thyatiridae, Mimopsestis MATSUMURA, 1921, and Wernya, the latter being newly established here for the reception of Palimpsestis lineofracta HOULBERT, 1921, Gaurena solena SWINHOE, 1894, and three new species described below. The genus Mimopsestis was once discussed by MELL (1942) on the basis of the male genitalic structures for four S. Chinese species placed in Spilobasis HOULBERT, 1921, a junior objective synonym of Mimopsestis. However, they should be excluded from Mimopsestis as shown in the text. On the other hand, P. lineofracta and G. solena have never been mentioned taxonomically since their original descriptions, and judging from the morphological features, they are considered to form a compact generic group related to Mimopsestis.
