Abstract

A new philine species belonging to a new genus, Spiniphilus spinicornis gen. et sp. nov., is described from Yunnan, China. The genus differs from other genera of the Philinae in the male antennae, segments 3–10 of which bear a long flattened lateroapical spine. Female of Heterophilus is briefly described for the first time. Photographs of the habitus and some morphological details are provided and the genera of the Philinae are keyed.
