Abstract

Two new species of the aquatic leaf beetle genus Macroplea Samouelle namely M. ranina Lou & Yu, sp. nov. and M. huaxiensis Lou & Liang, sp. nov. are described from China. Macroplea appendiculata (Panzer, 1794) is recorded for the first time from China and a key to all known species of Macroplea is provided.
