Abstract

Baiyueriusgen. nov., a new genus of the subfamily Coelotinae F. O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893 is described, including five new species: B.daxisp. nov. (♀), B.pindongsp. nov. (♂), B.tamdaosp. nov. (♀), B.zhupingsp. nov. (♂) and B.zuojiangsp. nov. (♂♀), from southern China and northern Vietnam. Our molecular phylogenetic analyses support Baiyuerius gen. nov. as monophyletic and as a sister group of the newly established genus Yunguirius Li, Zhao & Li, 2023.

Keywords: Asia; DNA barcoding; new species; phylogeny; taxonomy.
