Abstract
Species of the genus Pseudocneorhinus occurring in or near China are reviewed, with description of five new species, Pseudocneorhinusangustussp. nov., P.glabersp. nov., P.hlavacisp. nov., P.obliquehumeralissp. nov., and P.setosicallussp. nov. from the provinces of Beijing, Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Zhejiang. They are illustrated and compared with similar species, and a key is provided to all presently known species of the genus. Lectotypes of the following species are designated: Callirhopalussubcallosus Voss, 1956 [current name Pseudocneorhinussubcallosus (Voss, 1956)] and P.squamosus Marshall, 1934. Pseudocneorhinussquameus Morimoto, 2015 is confirmed for the fauna of China.
Highlights
The genus Pseudocneorhinus Roelofs, 1873 has been transferred between tribes several times
Together with the species newly described the genus increases to 19 species known from the same area, with Pseudocneorhinus bifasciatus Roelofs, 1880 having been introduced into the USA (Wheeler and Boyd 2005)
There are 16 species of Pseudocneorhinus recorded from China, accounting for 84% of the species presently known in the Palaearctic Region
Summary
The genus Pseudocneorhinus Roelofs, 1873 has been transferred between tribes several times. Together with the species newly described the genus increases to 19 species known from the same area, with Pseudocneorhinus bifasciatus Roelofs, 1880 having been introduced into the USA (Wheeler and Boyd 2005). The latter is comparatively well studied, with known biology, larva, and pupa (for example Allen 1959, Zepp 1978). Marshall (1934) and Voss (1956) studied regional collections from China, Han et al (2000) and Han and Yoon (2000) from South Korea and Morimoto et al (2015) from Japan. Illustrations of diagnostically important internal structures are provided
