male epiproct normal (roundly triangular and without any folds or lobules); male paraproct approximately as in Neolipotactes ; male cercus elongately conical, with rather thin distal part and almost lamellar widened lobule (lamella) located at place of proximedial hook of previous subgenera (instead it), and without any tubercles on basal part of this lamella or near it; male genitalia membranous with a pair of semimembranous lobes (lobules) having numerous small setae ( Figs 51, 56 ).

INCLUDED SPECIES. Type species; L. ingrischi Gorochov, 1996 (Central Vietnam); L. discus Ingrisch, 2021 ( Cambodia) .

instead the proximedial hook and lacking any tubercles on the base of this lamella and near it, and additionally from Prolipotactes , Miolipotactes and Dialipotactes ,

in the both male last tergite and male epiproct lacking any lobes, projections and lobules.

ETYMOLOGY. This subgeneric name consists of the Latin prefix “sub-“ (under,

very near) and the generic name Lipotactes .
