Abstract

Baiyuerius Li, Zhao & Li gen. n., a new genus of the subfamily Coelotinae F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893 is described, including five new species: B. daxi Li, Zhao & Li sp. n. (♀), B. pindong Li, Zhao & Li sp. n. (♂), B. tamdao Li, Zhao & Li sp. n. (♀), B. zhuping Li, Zhao & Li sp. n. (♂), and B. zuojiang Li, Zhao & Li sp. n. (♂♀), from southern China and the north of Vietnam. Our molecular analysis supports Baiyuerius Li, Zhao & Li gen. n. as monophyletic and as a sister group of the newly established genus Yunguirius.
