Abstract
The genus Odontotrypes Fairmaire, 1887 is currently represented by almost 70 species restricted to the transient zone between the Palaearctic and Oriental zoographical regions. It is so far known to be distributed throughout the Himalayas, eastward to northern Myanmar (Kachin) and eastern areas of Tibet, and in mountainous areas of central and southwestern provinces of China (Yunnan, Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu and Shaanxi (Howden 2006, Král et al. 2001, Löbl et al. 2006, Nikolajev 2009a, b, 2013, Ochi et al. 2010, Shokhin 2008).
A large part of them (including new species described below) are classified in the nominotypical subgenus, a smaller number of species in the subgenus Thorectomimus Nikolajev, 2009 (cf. Král et al. 2001, Nikolajev 2009b).
The present paper is based on material from a primary mountain forest of the Dashennongjia Mts. Material obtained mostly from the pitfall traps included a few specimens of Odontotrypes species which proved to be an undescribed species.
Until now, no information has been reported on the occurrence of any Odontotrypes in the province of Hubei. In addition the record presented here represents so far the easternmost known occurrences of the genus.
