Abstract

The species of the subgenus Scatella Robineau-Desvoidy from China are reviewed. One species, Scatella tenuicosta Collin, is recorded from China for the first time, and one species, Scatella henanensis sp. nov., is described. A key to the species from China is given. The distribution of the subgenus in China is discussed.
