Two species of the genus Carpophilus are newly recorded from China: Carpophilus(s. str.) jelineki Audisio & Kirejtshuk, 1988 and Carpophilus(s. str.) subcalvus Kirejtshuk, 1984. Differences compared with Carpophilus(s. str.) hemipterus Linnaeus, 1758 and Carpophilus(s. str.) delkeskampi Hisamatsu, 1963 which are closely related to C.(s. str.) jelineki are described and photographed. A checklist and key to all species of Carpophilus in China are provided.
We examined the subgenus Haptoncus of Epuraea in China, including a total of 5 species with 1 newly recorded species: Epuraea (Haptoncus) picinus Gillogly, 1982. 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.
Meligethes (Meligethes) pallidoelytrorum, Chen et Kirejtshuk sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Sichuan, China. 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.
