Study of the type specimens of both nominal species included in the poorly known Perlodinae genus Protarcys Klapálek, 1912 proved them congeneric with the four known species of Neofilchneria Zwick, 1973. Consequently, Protarcys is the senior synonym of Neofilchneria, and belongs to Arcynopterygini instead of Perlodini. Four new combinations are stated: Protarcys cheni (Zhang, Li & Li, 2024), P. erberi (Zwick, 1980) (in: Zwick & Sivec 1980), P. uncata (Kimmins, 1947), P. wanglanga (Chen, 2019). The two original species, P. caudata Klapálek, 1912 and P. lutescens Klapálek, 1912 are redescribed on the basis of type specimens. The genus is known from China (Hubei, Sichuan, Xizang and Yunnan), India (Sikkim) and Nepal. Keys are presented for distinguishing the species of Protarcys.
对鲜为人知的原扇蟌属（Protarcys Klapálek，1912）两个定种模式标本的研究表明，它们与新扇蟌属（Neofilchneria Zwick，1973）的四个已知物种同属。因此，原扇蟌属是新扇蟌属的次异名，且属于弧翅蟌族而非扇蟌族。列出了四个新组合：陈氏原扇蟌（Protarcys cheni (Zhang, Li & Li, 2024)）、埃尔贝原扇蟌（P. erberi (Zwick, 1980)（载于：Zwick & Sivec 1980））、钩状原扇蟌（P. uncata (Kimmins, 1947)）、王朗原扇蟌（P. wanglanga (Chen, 2019)）。基于模式标本对两个原始物种，即1912年的尾状原扇蟌（P. caudata Klapálek）和1912年的淡黄原扇蟌（P. lutescens Klapálek）进行了重新描述。该属在中国（湖北、四川、西藏和云南）、印度（锡金）和尼泊尔有分布。给出了区分原扇蟌属各物种的检索表。
