A New Genus in the Subfamily Phycitinae (lepidoptera: Pyralidae) from China

A new genus, Furcata is erected and Furcata quadrangula is described as a new species. Four known species, Furcata dichromella (Ragonot), F. paradichromella (Yamanaka), F. pseudodichromella (Yamanaka) and F. karenkolla (Shibuya) are positioned in the new genus with F. dichromella (Ragonot) as the type species. The first three are transferred from Trachycera Ragonot, the last from Eurhodope Hübner. Both male and female genitalia of these five species, except the female of the new species, are illustrated. The type of the new species and other specimens examined are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing (abbreviated as IZCAS in the following text).
