Neoproutista Yang & Wu, 1994

Neoproutista Yang & Wu, 1994: 14; Wu et al. 2003: 463.

Type species.

Paraproutista pseudoalbicosta Muir, 1915 , original designation.

Diagnosis.

The distinctive characters proposed by Wu et al. (2003) are modified as follows: head including eyes narrower than pronotum. Vertex triangular or trapezoidal, frons in profile rounded, lateral carinae approximate at middle or apical part, diverging to both ends, area between eyes narrower than width of an eye. Postclypeus shorter than frons, 3 - carinate. Antennae with pedicel mostly short, arista terminal. Ocelli present, rudimentary. Mesonotum convex, 3 - carinate. Forewing long, longer than widest part (about 3.5: 1), with nearly straight inner margin, MP six times branched, MP 1 four times branched with six terminals, ScP + R, MP, and veins near them often reddish. Hindwing with vein ScP + RA short, MP two or three terminals, CuA two or three terminals. Spinal formula of hind legs 5 (6) - 5 (4 ~ 8) - 6 (4 ~ 10). Male terminalia with pygofer narrow; anal tube with basal part form angular processes; gonostyli with basal 1 / 3 slender, then rapidly expand, inner side with one or two hooked processes; aedeagus asymmetrical, periandrium curved, endosoma more complex. Female terminalia reduced.

Host plants.

Bamboo ( Poales : Poaceae : Bambusoideae).

Distribution.

China (Fujian, Guizhou, Taiwan, Yunnan), India (Assam) (Fig. 1 ).
