Abstract

The Chinese species of the highland weevil genus Hyperomias (Marshall, 1916) are revised. One new species, Hyperomias jiggyobensis sp. nov., is described from Jiggyob, Tibet, China. A total of 26 Hyperomias species are recorded from China. A key to Hyperomias and its related genera, a key to all Chinese Hyperomias species, and a diagnosis of each species are presented.
