| description | A new genus and species of Limacodidae, <i>Guium nebulum</i> gen. et sp. nov., is described based on specimens collected from Guangxi Autonomous Region and Jiangxi Province in China. The new genus shares certain morphological features, such as a well-developed labial palpus, with related genera like <i>Tanvia Solovyev & Witt</i>, 2009; <i>Scopelodes</i> Westwood, 1841; <i>Hyphorma</i> Walker, 1865; and <i>Monema</i> Walker, 1855. However, the new genus can be separated from them by the wing venation and the male genital characteristics. COI molecular marker analysis further supports the monophyly of this new genus, indicating a close relationship with <i>Scopelodes</i>. |
