Abstract

New taxonomic and faunistic data for seven species of the genus Hygrodromcus Tronquet, 1981 from China are provided. Five species are (re-) described and illustrated: H. feldmanni sp. nov., H. fulvescens sp. nov. and H. graciliformis sp. nov. (Sichuan), H. maderi (Bernhauer, 1943) comb. nov. (from Geodromicus), and H. tuntalashanensis sp. nov. (Xizang). A new synonymy is established: H. maderi = Liophilydrodes uenoi Watanabe, 1995 syn. nov. A key to Chinese species of Hygrodromicus is given. The geographical distribution of all species is mapped. Two species are recorded for the first time from certain area: H. danlangi Cheng, Li & Peng, 2021 from Sichuan and H. maderi from Qinghai, Hubei and Yunnan.
