Neocyrtopsides platycata Chang & Wang & Shi 2021, gen. et comb. nov

Neocyrtopsides platycata (Shi & Zheng, 1994) gen. et comb. nov. Phlugiolopsis platycata Shi & Zheng, 1994: 44, 46 (English). Acosmetura platycata – Liu et al. 2008: 764. Neocyrtopsis (Paraneocyrtopsis) platycata – Wang H.J. et al. 2013: 182. Remarks The species was described by Shi & Zheng (1994) on the basis of a single specimen (holotype) collected in Emeishan (Sichuan). Later, in 2011, we collected many specimens of the species from the type locality. Wang H.J. et al. (2013) determined the species should be placed in the genus Neocyrtopsis Liu & Zhang, 2007 because of the morphology of the male tenth abdominal tergite and genitalia. However, after the species Neocyrtopsides bispina gen. et sp. nov. was discovered, it should be placed in the new genus because they differ from the genus Neocyrtopsis in the male epiproct, the tenth abdominal tergite, the genitalia and the subgenital plate morphology. The species was sufficiently described (see Wang H.J. et al. 2013). Distribution China (Sichuan). Note The Chinese name of the species is Î板ffiùflḃễ (Kuang Ban Ni Xin Ci Xi Zhong).
