- Abstract
Recent cladistic analysis of the Reedocalymeninae necessitates taxonomic revision of the subfamily.NeseuretusHicks, 1873, interpreted as both paraphyletic and polyphyletic, is rediagnosed. A list is provided of 65 different species or subspecies variously allocated to eitherNeseuretusor its junior synonymSynhomalonotusPompeckj, 1898, with their current taxonomic status indicated. The new genusAristocalymeneis established to accommodate at least two morphologically aberrant species previously assigned toNeseuretus, and forming the†stem group of a clade also containing taxa previously assigned toNeseuretinusDean, 1967,SarrabesiaHammann and Leone, 1997 andVietnamiaKobayashi, 1960. The type material of several Asian reedocalymenine taxa collected during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries is redescribed.Neseuretinus birmanicus(Reed, 1906) is recognized as the senior synonym ofN. turcicusDean, 1967, but the taxonomic identity of South Chinese material assigned to the species remains difficult to determine. Redescription ofVietnamia douvillei(Mansuy, 1908) indicates thatSarrabesiais a junior synonym ofVietnamia.Calymene nivalisSalter, 1865, previously interpreted as a stratigraphically late representative ofNeseuretus, is also reassigned toVietnamia.
