Head with anterior margin medially produced, slightly narrower than pronotum, or subequal to or broader than pronotum. Known species of this genus with vertex bearing a pair of dark preapical spots and a pair of dark brown spots arising downward from posterior margin; these serve as taxonomic diagnostic characters. Coronal suture distinct or indistinct. Junction of vertex and pronotum dark-colored. Face broadened, with anteclypeus almost black or brownish black, nearly pentagonal. Eyes black. Pronotum broad, often with obvious dark patterns. Scutellum yellow or orange, with basal triangles and apex black; transverse impression distinct, with two small, rounded spots above it. Forewing with large, dark patterns in bright ochre-yellow or dirty-brown, with special venation for Erythroneurini, CuA′ fused with MP proximal to MP bifurcation, leading to petiolate shape of second apical cell; MP ″ + CuA′ curved basally; AA fused with AP. Hind wing with RA absent.</p><p>Abdominal apodemes not reaching or exceeding 3 rd sternite.</p><p>Male genitalia. Anal tube often with pair of basal processes, distal area near ventral side with good sclerotization. Pygofer with dorsal appendages, firmly fused to the pygofer lobe at basal margins. Pygofer lobe hind margin acutely produced, often with small group of microsetae around it; several long and rigid setae, or long and slender cilia, scattered on surface of pygofer lobe. Subgenital plate expanded at base, with 4 or 5 macrosetae on lateral surface, apex bending towards internal margin, dentiform, or rounded without curve. Style apex slender or with a second end point, preapical lobe small but prominent or broad and distinct. Aedeagal shaft tubular; preatrium length variable, with or without processes; dorsal apodeme swollen slightly. Connective with distinctly developed lateral arms, central lobe distinct or vestigial, stem short or absent.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Oriental and eastern Palaearctic Regions: China (Henan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Tibet), India (Sikkim), and Nepal (Kathmandu).</p><p>Checklist of species of the genus Thapaia Dmitriev &amp; Dietrich, 2006</p><p>Thapaia malingensis Yuan &amp; Song, sp. nov.</p><p>Distribution.
