Aparaphysis View in CoL gen. n.
Type species: Aparaphysis lushuiiensis sp. n.
Description. Head narrower than pronotum, conically produced anteriorly (Plate II: A). Transition between vertex and face angular but not carinate (Plate II: A & B). Ocelli on anterior margin of head closed to eye. Gena not incised and visible behind the eye in dorsal view. Pronotum widened posteriorly (Plate II: C). Forewing with reflexed veins to costa (Plate II: E). Profemur setal row AV with 15–17 setae of nearly same length; IC row with 6 long setae of similar length; AM1 well developed ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A). Protibia dorsal setal formula 1+4 ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 B). Hind femur setal formula 2+2+1 ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 C). Hind tibia setal row AD: with approximately 13 long stout setae and 0–5 shorter stout setae between each long seta ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 D); PD: with appproximately 20 macrosetae, slightly longer and narrower than those of AD, subequal to each other in length ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 E).
Male pygofer side without process ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 A). Valve triangular ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 B). Subgenital plate elongate, triangular with a row of marginal setae ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 C). Style with broad anterior part, subapical lobe discernable but not well developed, apophysis of style elongate ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 D). Connective fused with aedeagus, without paraphysis, its arms close together ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 E, 2F). Aedeagus simple, with well developed dorsal apodeme ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 E, 2F).
Remarks. We place this genus in Scaphytopiini based on the gena lacking an incision below the eye and being visible behind the eye in dorsal view. In the key to genera of Scaphytopiini of the Indian subcontinent by Viraktamath & Anantha Murthy (1999), Aparaphysis keys out to Sudhamruta Viraktamath & Anantha Murthy. It differs from Sudhamruta in having the connective without paraphysis ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 E, 2F). This genus is also similar to Sikhamani Viraktamath & Webb but differs in having the connective without paraphysis and aedeagus without processes ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 E, 2F). This genus is also similar to Scaphoideus Uhler in coloration, wing venation.
Etymology. This genus is named for the connective lacking a paraphysis, the gender is feminine.
