A key to the subgenera and species of male Chinese Lytta is given. A newly recorded species for China, Lytta (Asiolytta) selanderi Saha is described. The subgeneric assignments for two species are proposed: Lytta (Lytta) battonii (Kaszab) and Lytta (Lytta) sifanica (Semenov). 23 known species of Chinese Lytta are listed.展开更多

Morphological characters of the genus and species are given. The history of genus Eufallia and its distribution, feeding habits and damage by E. seminiveus are discussed. E. seminiveus may be an important household pest.展开更多

This species has been lacking a detailed and formal description. In past years we collected a male and four females of this species from Yunnan, China.In this paper, we describe both the adult male and female of this species in detail, especially providing diagnostic features of the antenna, ventrite and male aedeagus. We provide photographs of the dorsal and ventral view, habitat of both male and female adults, and figures detailing the diagnostic features of both male and female antenna, male abdominal ventrites and the male aedeagus. In addition, we discuss one intraspecific variation found in this species. This provides an important basis for correct identification of this species.展开更多

A simple description of this newly recorded species and a key to the Chinese species of the subgenus Haptoncus Murray is given. Photos of the habitus and the pictures of the genitalia of Haptoncus from China are also provided.展开更多

It can be readily distinguished from related species by the smoothed dorsal integument, diffused and sparse punctations on elytra and the very distinct tooth at base of the claw. Meligethes (Meligethes) lutra Solsky, 1876, syn. nov. and M. (M.) melleus Grouvelle, 1908, syn. nov. are proposed as the synonymies of M. (3l.)vulpes Solsky, 1876.展开更多
