Gnezdilov1 Abstract: A new genus Reinhardema gen. nov. is erected for Homocnemia pasagarda Dlabola, 1982. Zusammenfassung: Die neue Gattung Reinhardema gen. nov. wird für Homocnemia pasagarda Dlabola, 1982 errichtet. Key words: Caliscelinae, Caliscelini, new genus, new combination, Iran 1. Introduction The family Caliscelidae Amyot et Serville is presented by two subfamilies each with two tribes in the Palaearctic Region – Caliscelinae Amyot et Serville (Caliscelini Amyot et Serville, 1843, Peltonotellini Fieber, 1872), Ommatidiotinae Fieber (Ommatidiotini Fieber, 1875, Adenissini Dlabola, 1980) (Gnezdilov, Wilson, 2006; Emeljanov, 2008). Recently Emeljanov (2008) have proposed to validate Peltonotellini Fieber to accommodate caliscelid genera with sensory pits in imago. A new genus erected below for Homocnemia pasagarda Dlabola, 1982 belongs to the tribe Caliscelini.  The genus Homocnemia A. Costa, 1857 was erected for Homocnemia albovittata A. Costa, 1857 known from southern Italy and Greece (Costa, 1857; Drosopoulos, 1990). Homocnemia pasagarda was described after a single male from Southern Iran (Fars Province) (Dlabola, 1982). Recently one more male was collected in Fars Province by Dr. R. Linnavuori. H. pasagarda differs from H. albovittata by saddle-shaped fore wings and strongly convex abdomen in males. According to these features H. pasagarda is related to the genera Caliscelis Laporte, 1833 and Populonia Jacobi, 1910. From the other hand according to the presence of spine-shaped projections of the phallobase (Dlabola, 1982, figs 11, 12; Kartal, 1985, figs C1-C2, D1-D2) H. pasagarda is related to the genus Bruchoscelis Melichar, 1906. I suggest to erect a new genus, Reinhardema gen. n., for H. pasagarda. The genus is named in honor of the eminent German entomologist Prof. Reinhard Remane (1929–2009).  2. Material and methods Photographs of the specimen were made using Leica MZ8 with JVC video camera KY F7OB, images are produced using the software Synoptics Automontage. The material examined is deposited in the National Museum of Wales (Cardiff, UK).                                                 1 Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Universitetskaya nab. 1, St. Petersburg 199034, Russia; e-mail: vmgnezdilov@mail.ru.
