Two new species of Aphodiini from China (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Aphodiinae)

Abstrakt

Two new species of the tribe Aphodiini from China are described and illustrated: Gilletianus yunnanensis sp. nov. from the Yunnan Province and Trichonotulus amdoensis sp. nov. from the Qinghai Province. Two new combinations are proposed: Trichonotulus dzamosanicus (Stebnicka, 1973) and Trichonotulus vultuosus (Balthasar, 1971), both from Aphodius (Hellwig, 1798).

The species T. vultuosus is reported from India (Jammu and Kashmir) for the first time based on one specimen and also illustrated for the first time in the present study.
