Parafagocyba Kuoh et Hu, 1992: 322.

Type-species: Parafagocyba binaria Kuoh et Hu, 1992 Color pattern of dorsum uniformly brownish-red or greenish-yellow, with two rounded patches on anterior margin of vertex ( Figs 1 , 12 ).

Anterior margin of vertex rounded, slightly produced and parallel with posterior margin, midlength of vertex shorter than width between eyes, coronal suture reaching to anterior margin. Forewing parallel laterally with apex rounded, 3rd apical cell with petiole at base ( Fig. 4 ); hind wings gradually narrowed towards apex with 2 cross veins ( Fig. 5 ).

Male pygofer side tall with posterior margin rounded and with 2 areas of rigid microsetae in posterior upper angle and ventral basal angle, respectively ( Figs 6 , 15, 19 ); subgenital plate broadened basally, narrowed at apical 1/3 and rounded apically with setosity including one basal macroseta, row of rigid microsetae at outer margin and apical 1/3 of inner margin ( Figs 7 , 19-20 ); paramere robust with central part developed and 2 times longer than anterior part, but shorter than caudal part, apex footlike ( Figs 8 , 18 ); connective short, Y-shaped, with central lobe developed ( Fig. 16 ); aedeagus with shaft slender, with unpaired dorsal process arising near base, gonopore apical ( Figs 10 , 22 ).
