Abstract

A new genus Chryseacampa gen. n. with Chryseacampa evani sp. n. (type-species) and Chryseacampa ralphyi sp. n. are described. Detailed diagnosis for the new genus is provided and compared with three closely related genera: Pachymetana Strand, 1912; Mallocampa Aurivillius, 1902; and Dollmania Tams, 1930. Male and female genitalia of Pachymetana custodita Strand, 1912 are illustrated for the first time.
