A monotypic genus Duplimedia gen. n. is erected in the tribe Intermedialiini Wen, 1984 with Gahrliepia armigera Fernandes et Kulkarni, 2003 as its type species. Larvae of this new genus have PL setae inserted adjacent to ALs and two intermedial setae on the scutum, differing from Intermedialia with PLs behind SB level and Wuella Wang et al., 1997 having four intermedial setae.
Key words: Gahrliepia, Duplimedia, Intermedialliini, Walchiidae, new genus
