Abstract

Four new species of Clinotanypus Kieffer, C. dismegasetus, C. marginatus, C. tuberosus, and C. yani, from Oriental China are described and figured as males. C. microtrichos Yan et Ye is re-examined and figured based on males from Oriental China. The generic diagnosis is corrected, and a key to the males of Clinotanypus is presented.
