Abstract

All stages of a new genus, Euryhapsis, are described and differentiated from several other genera of primitive Orthocladiinae. Three new species are described: Euryhapsis cilium (type-species), Euryhapsis illoba, and Euryhapsis brevis. Eurycnemus annuliventris (Malloch) is transferred to Euryhapsis. A key to species of males is presented.
