Canopyana Viraktamath & Srinivasa

Canopyana Viraktamath & Srinivasa 2006: 36–37 .

Type species: Canopyana vateriae Viraktamath & Srinivasa , by original designation.

Diagnosis: Crown with anterior margin relatively thick in lateral view, weakly bicarinate with few fine transverse striations. Forewing with white cross-vein between claval veins and outer claval veins and claval suture. Pygofer lobe with dorsocaudal process and about ten macrosetae. Style with apical apophysis short and stout, and preapical lobe truncate. Connective Y-shaped with stem approximately three times the length of arms, arms short and divergent, articulated with aedeagus. Aedeagus with dorsal apodeme well-sclerotized, Y-shaped in dorsal view; aedeagus tubular, apex of aedeagal shaft curved dorsally, with ventral petal-like process arising at base with its apex bilobed; gonopore apical.

Distribution: India, Indonesia (New Guinea).

Remarks: Viraktamath & Srinivasa (2006) distinguished this genus from Carvaka Distant and Kutara Distant by the following: fore margin of head with weak rim; pygofer with dorsocaudal process; and aedeagus without spine-like apical extension but with basal ventral process.
