Abstract

Heterotrissocladius Spärck from China, including 5 species is reviewed. Three new species, H. flectus sp. n., H. quartus sp. n. and H. reductus sp. n. are described and illustrated as adult males, and H. scutellatus Goetghebuer is recorded from China for the first time. A key to the males of the reviewed species is presented.
