Abstract
The genus Cladotanytarsus from China, including 12 species, is reviewed. Three new species C. bisetus, C. dilatus, and C. paratridorsum are described and figured. Cladotanytarsus conversus (Johannsen), C. digitalis Wang & Zheng, C. frontalis Wang & Zheng, C. nigrovittatus (Goetghebuer), C. palmatus Wang & Zheng, C. parvus Wang & Zheng, C. pseudomancus (Goetghebuer), C. vanderwulpi (Edwards), and C. yunnanensis Wang & Zheng are reexamined. A key to the males of Cladotanytarsus from China is presented.References
