Abstract

The genus Rhinoncomimus Wagner, 1940 includes seven species from Eastern Asia. One new species, Rh. continuus sp. nov. from Yunnan, China, is described. Habitus photos, illustrations and descriptions of all species except Rh. rubripes Korotyaev, 2006 (a possible junior synonym of R. niger Chûjô and Morimoto, 1959) are provided in detail, as well as key to species and distribution maps. In addition, the host plant of the type species Rh. klapperichi Wagner, 1940, Polygonum hydropiper L. (Polygonaceae) is newly recorded.
