Abstract

Abstract The Old World tephritid genus, Pseudina Malloch, is redefined with the descriptions of two new species from China: P. duplicata Han & Wang, and P. eritima Han & Wang. The nomenclatural status of Pseudina is clarified and the nominal genus Vidalia Robineau-Desvoidy is treated as a nomen dubium, and removed from synonymy with Pseudina. An annotated check list of all the known Pseudina species, a key, and illustrations are provided, and the phylogenetic relationships discussed. In addition, a lectotype is designated for Vidalia spadix Chen and Vidalia pulla Wang is transferred to the genus Hoplandromyia Bezzi.
