Abstract: Three new species of the family Agyrtidae are described from China: Apteroloma
belousovi sp. nov. (Sichuan province), Apteroloma jelineki sp. nov. and Ipelates
schuelkei sp. nov. (both Yunnan province). Female of Apteroloma qinlingense
Rougemont, 2001 is redescribed. Necrophilus chinensis Zhou, 2005 is considered
as a junior subjective synonym of N. sichuanensis Nikolaev, 2003. First records
are given for Necrophilus rupinensis Schawaller, 1986 and Pterolo- ma
forsstromii (Gyllenhal, 1810) from China and Ipelates sikkimensis (Portevin,
1905) from India: Arunachal Pradesh, Myanmar and Thailand. Species of agyrtid
genera mentioned from China and adjacent countries are keyed.
