    A new genus Lyalia is described in Nanophyidae and three species are included in it: Lyalia curvata sp. n. (Vietnam), L. robusta (Pic, 1921), comb. n. (from Nanophyes) (Java, Bali, Laos) and L. albolineata (Pajni & Bhateja, 1982), comb. n. (from Ctenomerus) (India: Assam). Ctenomerus lagerstroemiae G. A. K. Marshall, 1923 is a syn. n. of L. robusta. Thus, the genus Ctenomerus Schoenherr, 1843 is restricted to the Afrotropical Realm. Kantohia gen. n. is erected for Kantohia taiwana (Kantoh & Kojima, 2009) (from Shiva) (Taiwan). A key to the Nanophyinae genera with six desmomeres is presented.Studies in the MNHN (Paris) by the senior author were facilitated by the attribution of a grant of Invited Professor during January-February 2010, for which he thanks the authorities of the Museum.
