( urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:)
Type species. Longipectus circulus sp. nov.
Diagnosis. Longipectus gen. nov. can be distinguished from all other elcanid genera by its smallest body size, measuring only 2.95 mm in length; a pronotum distinctly extended, more than half the length of the body; metatarsomere II present with a small apical lobule; tegmina CuA+CuPaα only fused with CuPaβ+CuPb, 1A reduced as a short vein near the wing posterior margin.
Etymology. The generic name was derived from the Latin “ longus ” (long) and “ pectus ” (breast), referring to its extremely long pronotum, more than half the length of the body.
