Genus Indophanes Banks, 1940
Comments. The genus Indophanes was revised by Zheng & Liu (2023) based on the morphological characteristics of the adults. Two new species and the characteristics of the 3rd instar larva were also described from China. During the revision, the taxonomic status of the previously synonymized genus ( Stange 2004) was restored, and differential characteristics from the genus Indoleon Banks, 1913 were reported in the generic diagnosis. We agree with Zheng & Liu (2023) that the genera known from the Oriental area (e.g. Delgadus Navás, 1914 , Indoleon Banks, 1913 , Indophanes Banks, 1940 , Negrokus Navás, 1930 , Paraglenurus van der Weele, 1909 , Yunleon Yang, 1986 , and Thaumatoleon Esben-Petersen, 1921 ) need further revision, and the generic characteristics should be further investigated.
