Abstract

A new genus Minigrapta gen. n. (type-species Xanthograpta basinigra Sugi, 1982) and new species Minigrapta minimoides sp. n. of the tribe Apameini are described from the Primorye territory, Russia. The species described as Xanthograpta basinigra Sugi, 1982 is transferred from Acontiinae (sensu auctorum) to the subfamily Xyleninae, tribe Apameini; the new combination Minigrapta basinigra Sugi, 1982 comb. n. is proposed. The adults and genitalia are illustrated for these and allied species.
