| Summary: | This study presents a taxonomic revision of the genus <i>Macrima</i> Baly, 1878 to advance the understanding of suprageneric, non-monophyletic “Monoleptites”. Through comprehensive morphological examinations of all type specimens, including detailed analyses of male and female genitalia and the structure of the cavitous anterior part of the head, we propose <i>M. roseofulva</i> Medvedev, 2011 and <i>M. ferrugina</i> Jiang, 1990 as new synonyms of <i>M. aurantiaca</i> (Laboissière, 1936), <i>M. bifida</i> Yang, 1992 a new synonym of <i>M. cornuta</i> (Laboissière, 1936), and <i>M. yunnanensis</i> (Laboissière, 1936) as a new synonym of <i>M. pallida</i> (Laboissière, 1936). In addition, <i>M. costatipennis</i> Jacoby, 1896 is transferred to <i>Hoplosaenidea</i> Laboissière, 1933 (comb. nov.). Color photos of habitus, body details, and genitalia are presented for all species. |
