Abstract
The genus Pupinidius Moellendorff, 1901 is reviewed based on the examination of the majority of Chinese species. Fourteen out of sixteen known species and subspecies are re-described, most conchologically and some with details of the internal anatomy. Pupinidius latilabrum (Annandale, 1923), once regarded as a synonym of P. gregorii, is reestablished. An additional species, Pupinidius wenxian sp. nov. is described from South Gansu, West China.References
