Abstract

The Chinese Aulacidae are revised, keyed and illustrated for the first time. In total twenty-five species are recorded from China, included within two genera Aulacus Jurine, 1807 and Pristaulacus Kieffer, 1900, with five and twenty species respectively. Among the treated species, six are newly described for science: Aulacus magnus sp. n., Pristaulacus calidus sp. n., P. centralis sp. n., P. fopingi sp. n., P. obscurus sp. n., and P. pseudoiosephi sp. n. Three species are newly recorded from China: P. excisus Turner, 1922, P. iosephi Turrisi & Madl, 2013, and P. rufobalteatus Cameron, 1907.
