Abstract

Material of the genus Domene Fauvel, 1873 from the Chinese provinces of Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan is examined. Eleven species are identified, ten of them were described previously, one is newly described: D. assingi Tang & Peng, sp. nov. (Guangdong: Nanling). The female sexual characters of D. jini Peng & Li, 2017 are described and illustrated for the first time. New records are provided for D. cultrata Feldmann & Peng, 2014 from Chongqing Municipality, D. hui Lin & Peng, 2021 from Fujian Province, D. hybrida Assing, 2021 from Hunan Province, and D. procera Eppelsheim, 1886 from Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Jilin Province. A map of the Domene species from Chinese mainland is provided. Including the new taxon, 28 Domene species are currently known from China.
