Abstract

There are three species of Leucodellus Reuter recorded from China, of which one, Leucodellus xizangensis, is described here as new. The genus Heterochlorillus Putshkov, 1970 is treated as a junior synonym of Leucodellus Reuter, 1906. The new combinations Leucodellus amygdali (Linnavouri) [Heterochlorillus], L. nathaliae (Josifov) [Heterochlorillus], L. zagdani (Putshkov) [Heterochlorillus], and L. pallescens (Zheng and Li) [Plagiognathus], are proposed. A key for the discrimination of the Chinese species is given. Photographs of the dorsal habitus and illustrations of the legs and genitalia are provided. All type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Nankai University, Tianjin, China.
