Abstract

Two new species of the tyrine genus Megatyrus Hlaváč & Nomura, M. schuelkei Yin & Li, sp. n. (based on two males) and M. tengchongensis Yin & Li, sp. n. (based on one female), from Yunnan, Southwest China are described, illustrated and distinguished from allied species. The body size, form of maxillary palpi, male and female genital structures, and distributional patterns are used to separate the new species.
