Hovalysia Granger, 1949 Figs 53-64

Hovalysia Granger, 1949: 400; Shenefelt 1974: 992; Fischer 1993: 609-611, 1999: 9-10. Type species (by monotypy); Hovalysia seyrigi Granger, 1949 [holotype (MNHN) examined].

Notes.

The main characters are the medial position of vein r at the pterostigma and the aberrant venation of the fore wing in males (Fig. 53 ), which is unknown in other genera. Only two Afrotropical species are known. For their identification, see the key by Fischer (1999). So far, no males are known in China with similar venation, but Chinese male Separatatus with aberrant venation (Figs 17 , 20 ) are known. Therefore, Wharton’s (2002) reference to Taiwanese specimens with widened veins probably refers to a species of Separatatus . The biology is unknown.
