Abstract

A new species of the genus Coraebus Gory & Laporte, 1839 from Guangxi, Guangdong and Hunan in China is described and illustrated: Coraebus bimaculatus sp. nov. It is similar to C. violaceipennis Saunders, 1866, but can be easily distinguished from the latter by the elytral surface with spots, posterior margin of ventrite V distinctly concaved, elytral apices with small serrations, and parameral membrane of male terminalia with very short setae. This new species has distinct sexual dimorphism in the numbers of elytral spots and the tibiae shape.
