Abstract
Two new species of the genus Chorebus from the Palaearctic region of China, Chorebus (Etriptes) huangi sp. nov. and Chorebus (Stiphocera) convexiclypeus sp. nov. are described. As well, two newly recorded species, Chorebus (Chorebus) densepunctatus Burghele, Chorebus (Phaenolexis) selene (Nixon), are described and illustrated from the Oriental and Palaearctic regions in China. A key is presented to the subgenera of Chorebus occurring in China.
