Crockeria gen. nov.

Type species: Crockeria kinabalu sp. nov.

Etymology: The genus is named after William Maunder Crocker (1843-1899), who was an administrator in Borneo.

Diagnosis: Males of Crockeria gen. nov. can be distinguished from males of other Stephanopinae by the following combination of characters: presences of a stalked MA with a concave apex, presence of a sclerotized filiform C, and a broad-based filiform E. Females can be distinguished by the C-shaped CO, short CD and round S.

Remarks: Crockeria gen. nov. is most closely related to and likely to be confused with Cebrenninus, Epidius Thorell, 1877, Ibana Benjamin, 2014 and Pharta Thorell, 1891, known from the Oriental region. It can be separated from these genera, in addition to the characters given above, as follows: from Cebrenninus by the longer copulatory ducts and lack of ETP; from Epidius by the absence of an elongated male palpal tibia (tibia is longer than the cymbium in Epidius); from Pharta by the absence of a macro-trichobothrium on the palpal tibia, the absence of serrated tarsal setae, the absences of posterior epigynal pockets and by oval, dual-chambered spermatheca; from Ibana by the combined presences of a MA, C and E.

Description: See description of the type species below.

Species composition: Crockeria kinabalu sp. nov. and Crockeria laevis (Thorell, 1890) comb. nov.

Distribution: Sumatra (Mt Singgalang), Borneo (Sabah: Mt Kinabalu).
