Genus Ulopsina Dai, Viraktamath & Zhang

Ulopsina Dai, Viraktamath & Zhang, 2012: 3–5; Viraktamath & Webb, 2019: 564.

Type species: Ulopsina sinica Dai, Viraktamath & Zhang, 2012.

Diagnosis. Crown anterior margin slightly concave medially in dorsal view, projecting broadly beyond outer margins of eyes; macrosetal formula of hind femur apex 2+0+0; male pygofer fused to valve; caudal lobe of pygofer with sclerotized process rugose; mesal area with four to five short, stout setae; subgenital plate neither divided nor with basal suture; aedeagus with well-developed dorsal apodeme, shaft with or without pair of subapical asymmetrical processes and basal unpaired lateral process.
