The genera and are endemic to China and are morphologically homogeneous. The few available diagnostic characters make species identification particularly challenging. Species cannot be classified according to the given generic diagnosis, and phylogenetic analyses have not been reported. Here, we reconstruct the phylogeny using Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood and employ four approaches to delimit species. The results suggest that both and are paraphyletic. Therefore, we revise their taxonomy based on the combination of morphological characters and molecular data. A new genus Zhu & Shi gen. nov. is erected, and six new combinations are proposed. Species delimitation identifies 15 new species and one new subspecies: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , and sp. nov. Moreover, we find that the shapes of the dorsal lateral lobes and the dorsal median lobe of the male genitalia are also important characters for identifying these genera and that the shapes of the dorsal and lateral sclerites of the male genitalia are suitable for the classifications of species.
属和属为中国特有，形态上较为单一。现有的少数诊断特征使得物种鉴定极具挑战性。无法依据给定的属的诊断来对物种进行分类，且尚未有系统发育分析的报道。在此，我们使用贝叶斯推断和最大似然法重建系统发育，并采用四种方法来界定物种。结果表明属和属均为并系群。因此，我们基于形态特征和分子数据的结合对其分类进行修订。建立了一个新属朱 & 施新属，提出了六个新组合。物种界定识别出15个新物种和1个新亚种：、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、和新物种。此外，我们发现雄性生殖器背侧叶和背中叶的形状也是鉴定这些属的重要特征，且雄性生殖器背侧和侧方骨片的形状适用于物种分类。
