Abstract

Two aradid species of the genus Barcinus from China are recognized. Barcinus kormilevi Bai, Heiss & Cai is described as new to science. The female of Barcinus bhoutanensis Usinger & Matsuda 1959 is redescribed. A key to the Chinese species of Barcinus is given, and diagnostic morphological features of new species are illustrated.
