Genus Ufo Melika and Pujade-Villar, 2005

No new material of Ufo was found in ZAFU, only types of a single species, U. rufiventris Wang, Guo, Wang, Pujade-Villar and Chen, 2016 , and non-type specimens of U. cerroneuroteri Tang and Melika, 2012 that were mentioned in Wang et al. (2016). Currently, only these two species (out of five known species) are known from mainland China. An updated key to the species based on the key given by Melika et al. (2012) is provided.
