Abstract

A new species of stag beetle, Dorcus tianlongi Wang & Zhou, new species (Coleoptera: Lucanidae: Lucaninae) is described from Guizhou Province, China. It is closely related to D. liyingbingi Huang & Chen, 2013 and D. mencius (Kriesche, 1935). Diagnostic characters of the three species are illustrated and compared.
