Abstract

The genus Cardipennis Korotyaev, 1980 (Ceutorhynchinae: Ceutorhynchini) was studied on the basis of detailed morphological observations of various materials. Different scale patterns within a species are found for all the three species. Based on the external morphology and genitalia characteristics, Cardipennis rubripes (Hustache, 1916), C. sulcithorax (Hustache, 1916), and C. shaowuensis (Voss, 1958) are redescribed, with new records of C. rubripes from mainland China. Cardipennis species are mainly associated with annual herbs of Cannabis and Humulus (Cannabaceae). A key to species, habitus photographs, and illustrations of important characters are provided for each species. Distribution maps of the three species are also given.
