Abstract

The genus Sinocyrtaspis Liu, 2000 is revised. The characteristics, male pronotum strongly raised and prolonged at metazona as well as paranota after posterior transverse sulcus extended, are the main diagnostic characters. Two species are described as new: Sinocyrtaspis hengshanensis sp. nov. and Sinocyrtaspis cardia sp. nov. A key to the species (males) and distribution map are given.
