Subfamily Pteroplistinae Crockeriola gen. n. Type species - C. stolarczyki sp. n. D e s c r i p t i o n. Shape of body and coloration similar to those of other genera of sub family. Venation of male tegmina more similar to that of Tramlapiola GOROCHOV, 1990, then to that of Pteroplistus SAUSSURE, 1877 ( Pteroplistes ВB runner -WATTENWYL, 1873): mirror very large, apical area of dorsal part slightly shortened (Fig. 4). Fore tibiae with well developed inner tympanum and reduced outer one. Male anal plate simple, without hook-like processes (Fig. 5). Male genitalia (Figs 1-3) with narrow transverse sclerite connecting lateral parts of epiphallus with each other; epiphallus also with long hooked distal processes and shorter processes directed medi ally at middle part; endoparameral apodemes fused with guiding rod; guiding rod without paired processes and hooks, rather wide; valvae with large sclerotizations. Included species: only type species. R e m a r k s.A t present the subfamily Pteroplistinae consists of three genera: Pteroplistus, Tramlapiola, and Crockeriola gen. n. Other genera included in this subfamily by О тте (1988, 1994) belong to the subfamily Landrevinae (GOROCHOV 1990, 1995). The new genus can be distin guished from Pteroplistes by simple male anal plate, larger mirror and shorter apical area in male tegmina. From Tramlapiola it differs in the presence of transverse sclerite connecting lateral parts of epiphallus. From both genera it differs in having endoparameral apodemes fused with guiding rod, absence of paired processes and hooks of guiding rod, and presence of sclerotizations of valvae in male genitalia.

V enation o f m ale tegm ina m ore sim ilar to tha t o f Tramlapiola GOROCHOV, 1990, then to that o f Pteroplistus SAUSSURE, 1877 (Pteroplistes В Br u n n e r -WATTENWYL, 1873): m irror very large, apical area o f dorsal part slightly shortened (Fig. 4).

    Included species: only type species.

    R e m a r k s .A t p resent the subfam ily Pteroplistinae consists o f three genera: Pteroplistus, Tramlapiola, and Crockeriola gen. n. O ther genera included in this subfam ily by О т т е (1988,1994) belong to the subfam ily L andrevinae (GOROCHOV 1990, 1995). The new genus can be d is tin guished from Pteroplistes by sim ple m ale anal p late, larger m irro r and shorter apical area in m ale tegm ina. From Tramlapiola it d iffers in the presence o f transverse sclerite connecting lateral parts o f epiphallus. From both genera it d iffers in having endoparam eral apodem es fused w ith guiding rod, absence o f paired processes and hooks o f guiding rod, and presence o f sclero tizations o f valvae in m ale genitalia.
