TL;DR: Morphological characters and molecular phylogenetic analysis support the hypothesis that Neochloroglyphica is a member of the tribe Neohipparchini, and that it is a sister genus to Chlor Glyphica.
Abstract: Neochloroglyphica gen. nov. and its type species N. perbella sp. nov. are described from Yunnan, China. Morphological characters and molecular phylogenetic analysis, based on one mitochondrial and three nuclear genes, support the hypothesis that Neochloroglyphica is a member of the tribe Neohipparchini, and that it is a sister genus to Chloroglyphica . Morphological characters, including those of the genitalia, are figured and compared with related genera, especially Chloroglyphica , Neohipparchus and Chlororithra . Diagnoses for the genus and the species are provided and illustrations of external features and genitalia are presented.

TL;DR: The genus Chlororithra Butler, 1889 is revised and based on an examination of the syntypes of C. missioniaria Oberthür, it is elevated to species status and a lectotype is designated for C. fea.
Abstract: The genus Chlororithra Butler, 1889 is revised. Based on an examination of the syntypes of C. missioniaria Oberthür, we elevate that taxon to species status. Differences between C. fea Butler and C. missioniaria and variation within each species are discussed in detail and illustrated. A lectotype is designated for C. fea. Tribal placement of the genus is discussed.
