This study reports new weevil species and a genus in China, suggesting updates to identification keys for better taxonomy.
This study reports one genus newly recorded from China and four new species of the weevil tribe Stromboscerini. The genus Dexipeus Pascoe, 1885, is recorded in China for the first time, with one new species described: Dexipeus tengchongensis sp. nov. Additionally, three new species of Tasactes Faust, 1894, are recognized and diagnosed: T. biunciatus sp. nov., T. liangi sp. nov., and T. sulcatus sp. nov. For all new species, detailed morphological descriptions, diagnostic illustrations, and habitus pictures are provided. Two updated identification keys are presented. High-resolution pictures of the type specimens of the previously described Chinese species Allaeotes niger He, Zhang & Pelsue, 2003, and Synommatoides scutellatus He, Zhang & Pelsue, 2003, are also provided for future taxonomic research.
