Abstract

The genus Ricanoides Zia, 1935 is revised. The genus includes 5 species as follows: R. flabellum Noualhier, 1896 (China: Guizhou, Guangdong, Taiwan; Burma; India), R. liboensis sp. nov. (China: Guizhou), R. melanicus sp. nov. (China: Guizhou), R. pipera (Distant, 1914), comb. nov. (China: Taiwan, Hainan; Japan; India) and R. rotundatus sp. nov. (China: Guizhou, Guangxi). All 5 species (including the above-mentioned 3 new species) are described or redescribed and illustrated. A new combination, R. pipera (Distant, 1914) comb. nov., is proposed (previously placed in the genus Pochazia). A key to all species of this genus is given.
