Abstract
New taxonomic, diagnostic and faunistic data for eight species of the genus Amphichroum Kraatz, 1858 (Omaliinae) from China and the Himalayan Region are provided. Three species are (re-) described and illustrated: A. discolor sp.n. and A. grandidentatum sp.n. (both from Biluo Mts., Yunnan, China), and A. reticulatum Coiffait, 1978 (Bhutan). New records for five species from China and Nepal are given.
