Abstract

Eight species of the subgenus Chlaenioctenus of genus Chlaenius are recognized from Asia, with two new species described from China: Chlaenius (Chlaenioctenus) piligenys Liu and Liang, new species (type locality: Taiwan), and C. (C.) rotundithorax Liu and Kavanaugh, new species (type locality: Yunnan). Two species, C. (C.) freyi Jedlička, 1960 and C. (C.) pectinipes Bates, 1892 are redescribed based on type specimens. Photographs of C. (C.) schillhammeri Kirschenhofer, 2003 and a key to all known species of subgenus Chlaenioctenus are provided.
