Abstract

A new subgenus, Reticularisus Wu, Wu & Han, subgen. n., with type species Rhamnosa henanensis Wu, 2008, of the genus Rhamnosa Fixsen, 1887 is described and illustrated. For the sake of contrast, the type species of the other two subgenera in this genus have been given, including adults and male genitalia. Rhamnosa (Reticularisus) shierbeihoua Wu, Wu & Han, sp. n., a Limacodidae collected from the southwest of China is described as new to science. Also, the new species is illustrated with images of the adult and male genitalia and compared with the similar species Rh. henanensis.
