Abstract

The Neochauliodes sinensis species-group, the largest species-group within the genus Neochauliodes Weele, is revised. The following two species are described as new to science: Neochauliodes amamioshimanus and N. robustus. A key to all species of the Neochauliodes sinensis species-group is presented. Discussion of the phylogeny and zoogeography of the species-group is provided.
