Abstract

A new genus, Dianemobius, is diagnosed, with Eneoptera fascipes Walker, 1869, as type-species, since this species is not congeneric with Pteronemobius concolor (Walker), the type-species (a senior synonym of the originally designated Nemobius tartarus Saussure) of Pteronemobius. Notes on morphology and cytology which indicate the heterogeneity of Pteronemobius are included.

Résumé

Un genre nouveau, Dianemobius, est reconnu, avec comme espèce type Eneoptera fascipes Walker, 1869, puis que cette espèce n’est pas congénére de Pteronemobius concolor (Walker) l’espèce type (un synonyme préexistant de l’espèce désignée originalement, Nemobius tartarus Saussure) de Pteronemobius. De notes sont incluses sur la morphologie et la cytologie qui indiquent l’hétérogénéité de Pteronemobius.
