Abstract

A key to the species groups of Pachyprotasis from China is presented and the known species are associated with each of the groups. The species of the formosana group are reviewed and keyed. Four new species are described in this group, P. fopingensis sp. nov. (Shaanxi), P. maculoannulata sp. nov. (Hubei), P. nigricoxis sp. nov. (Yunnan) and P. altantennata sp. nov. (Hubei). The diagnostic characters of the previously known species of the group in China are revised.
