Abstract

A new species Chinaocerus dentaedeagus sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Yunnan, China. The new species can be distinguished from other species of the genus Chinaocerus by aedeagal shaft subapex with pair of dentate lamellar. Meanwhile, a checklist of the genus and a key to the genera from China are provided.
