Abstract
The genus Agelopsis Jacoby, 1896 is redefined and revised. Zizonia Chen, 1976 and Liroetinus Lopatin, 2004 are proposed as new synonyms of Agelopsis. Nine species of Agelopsis are recognized: A. aeneoviridis (Lopatin, 2004) (comb. nov.) (China: Sichuan), A. belousovi (Lopatin, 2004) (comb. nov.) (China: Sichuan, Yunnan), A. caeruleus Jacoby, 1896 (Nepal, India: Jharkhand, West Bengal), A. metallicus (Bryant, 1954) (comb. nov.) (Myanmar), A. spinipes (Ogloblin, 1936) (comb. nov.) (China: Gansu, Sichuan), A. tibetanus (Chen, 1976) (comb. nov.) (China: Xizang), A. konstantinovi sp. nov. (China: Shaanxi, Sichuan), A. malaisei sp. nov. (Myanmar, China: Yunnan) and A. traxlerorum sp. nov. (China: Yunnan). Colour photos of habitus and aedeagi as well as drawings of female genitalia are presented.
