description: <i>Sejanus hongkong</i> Schuh <i>Sejanus hongkong</i> Schuh, 1984: 173, figs. 556–560, 571, 573–579 (n. sp., diag., descr., DV, figs. head-pronotum, MG). DISCUSSION: Schuh (1984) speculated that <i>Sejanus hongkong</i> may later be found to be an independent lineage from <i>Sejanus</i> once more information was gathered. Based on the results of a subfamily analysis (Menard et al., in press), we believe that the following combination of characters confirm that it is not a member of Leucophoropterini: the left paramere has the anterior and posterior processes of equal length, with the anterior process relatively thick (Schuh, 1984: fig. 578); the overall shape of the left paramere is more similar to many Hallodapini (e.g., <i>Hallodapus albofasciatus</i> [Motschulsky]; Schuh, 1984: fig. 385) than Leucophoropterini (e.g., <i>Sejanus funereus</i>; Schuh, 1984: fig. 565); the extremely narrow apex of the phallotheca is more similar to members of the <i>Karoocapsus</i> group (e.g., <i>K. middelburgensis;</i> Schuh, 1974: fig. 204) than most Leucophoropterini with triangular-shaped apices of the phallotheca (<i>Pseudoleucophoroptera ifar</i>; Schuh, 1984: fig. 767); the sericeous setae on the dorsum (Schuh, 1984: fig. 571) are not present in any Leucophoropterini with the exception of possibly <i>Arafuramiris</i>, which possesses long, thick setae restricted to the clavus and not across the head and pronotum; and the dark spots at the bases of the spines of the metatibiae, which are not present in any Leucophoropterini.
