Abstract

The species of the genus Protohermes from Tibet are recorded and revised. Protohermes tibetanusYang & Yang is now a junior synonym of P. infectus (McLachlan) and two species are described as new to science: Protohermes latus sp. nov., and Protohermes motuoensis sp. nov. A key to the species from Tibet is presented.
