Abstract

A new Palaearctic genus, Neopsilocurusgen. n., is erected for Psilocurus negrus Lehr, 1974 (type species) and Ps. hypopygialis (Paramonov, 1930). A detailed comparative characteristic of the two Neopsilocurus species is given with descriptions of their external structures and photographs of the male genitalia. A key to species of the new genus is compiled based on the original and literature data.
