  • Connelicita lungchowensis (Chou et Lu, 1977) comb. nov. Sassula lungchowensis Chou et Lu, 1977: 318; Chou et al., 1985: 103. Material examined. Holotype: 1 ♀, China: Mt. Daqing, Longzhou, Guangxi Province, 19.VII. 1964. Coll.: Shengli Liu (TMNH). Notes. Connelicita lungchowensis was originally described according to one female specimen as a new species of the genus Sassula Stål, 1870 in the family Ricaniidae by Chou & Lu (1977). It was considered to be very close to the Burmese species S. sorurcula Stål. After Fennah's revision (1978) of Nogodinidae, this genus was transferred into the nogodinid Varciini Fennah, 1978, subtribe Sassulina Fennah, 1978. A careful check of the type specimen of S. lungchowensis (Figs 32–34) to complete Chou & Lu's figure (1977, fig. 22) shows the necessity to transfer this species into the new genus described here. This species differs from C. haiphongensis Wang et Zhang, sp. nov. by the shape of the vertex. Unfortunately male genitalia are unknown until now.
