Abstract
Two subfamilies of bee flies, Ecliminae and Lomatiinae, are first reported from China with the description of the following two new species: Lomatia shanguii sp. nov. and Thevenetimyia cingulata sp. nov. A key to the Chinese subfamilies of Bombyliidae and a key to the Palaearctic species of Thevenetimyia Bigot are also presented.
