Genus Pusulissus Bourgoin et Wang, 2020

Pusulissus Bourgoin et Wang, 2020: 73 . Type species: Pusulissus phiaoacensis Bourgoin et Wang, 2020 , by original designation.

Flatiforma Meng, Qin et Wang in ZHANG et al. 2020: 353, syn. n. Type species: Flatiforma guizhouensis Meng, Qin et Wang, 2020 , by original designation.

Notes. The original descriptions and illustrations of the habitus and male genitalia leave no doubt about the synonymy of these two genera. The genus is characterized by its relatively wide body in dorsal view, an elongate metope, with only median carina being distinct and with lateral tubercles, a transverse coryphe, the forewing with R 2 M 4 CuA 1, the male anal tube being wide in dorsal view, with its lateral margins corner-shaped and turned down, the dorsolateral lobes of the phallobase lacking processes, the ventral phallobase lobe bearing a small pointed process medially, and the ventral aedeagal hooks being strongly curved.

The date of publication of the work of BOURGOIN et WANG (2020) is indicated on the first page of the article as 25th November, 2020. The copyright page on the verso of the title page of ZHANG et al. (2020) gives the date of publication as November 2020; Y. ZHANG (pers. comm.) informed me that the book was published on 26th of November, 2020. Thus, Pusulissus has priority over Flatiforma .
