Molecular and morphological evidence reveals a new genus of the subfamily Heteropterinae (Lepidoptera, Hesperiidae) from China

Molecular phylogenetic analysis indicates that the genus is not monophyletic. Based on combined molecular and morphological evidence, we propose a new genus, Hou, Fan & Chiba, , for Leech, 1891. The adult, wing venation, and male genitalia of , , and related genera are illustrated.
