Remarks. The subgenus Ovalisia is a typical representative of the subtribe Poecilonotina and was revised by BÍLÝ (1993b, 1997). The list of studied specimens – see the chapter Material and methods. Species of the subgenus Ovalisia and the genera Melobasina and Ulaikoilia gen. nov. share nearly the same distribution. Moreover, the body shape of Ulaikoilia jelineki gen. nov., sp. nov. is very similar to some species of the subgenus Ovalisia ( Fig. 98 ). Wing as in Fig. 124 .
