Abstract

This paper studies the taxonomy of the genus Indoquedius Blackwelder occurring in China. Four new species are described: Indoquedius aculeus sp. nov. from Sichuan, I. bicornutus sp. nov. from Sichuan and Yunnan, I. nonparallelus sp. nov. from Yunnan and I. radius sp. nov. from Fujian. Altogether ten species of this genus are recorded now from China. The distribution map is also presented for all these species in the paper.
