Abstract

Two new species of the genus Hybridolinus from China are described: H. baoxingensis Li & Zhou sp. n. from Sichuan and H. fengyangshanus Li & Zhou sp. n. from Zhejiang. The aedeagi as well as morphological details of Hybridolinus decipiens Schillhammer, 1998 and Hybridolinus smetanai Schillhammer, 2003 are illustrated. An updated identification key to species is provided and the zoogeographical pattern of species distribution is discussed. The types of the new species are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IZ-CAS).
