Grammacephalus Haupt

Grammacephalus Haupt, 1929 , type species Platymetopius pugio Noualhier

Remarks. The genus Grammacephalus was revised for the Afrotropical region by Linnavuori (1978), who described three new species and erected two new combinations. Later, two species were moved into the genus and one new species was added by Viraktamath (1981) and another by Viraktamath and Anantha Murthy (1999), all from the Indian subcontinent. The new species described below represents the first record of the genus from China and only the second Asian record outside of the Indian subcontinent; an undetermined female specimen from The Philippines was recorded by Webb & Godoy (1993).

Hosts. Species of Grammacephalus have been collected on species of Acacia (Leguminosae) and Zizyphus (Rhamnaceae) ( Viraktamath, 1981), and the new species on Dodoneae viscosa (L.) ( Sapindaceae )
