Abstract

A new genus of the subfamily Coelotinae F.O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1893, Sinodraconarius gen. n., with four new species, S.cawarongensis sp. n. (♂♀), S.muruoensis sp. n. (♂♀), S.sangjiuensis sp. n. (♂♀, type species), S.yui sp. n. (♂♀) and S.patellabifidus (Wang, 2003) comb. n., ex. Draconarius Ovtchinnikov, 1999 is described. The genus is restricted to Southwest China. Sinodraconarius gen. n. is most similar to Draconarius but can be distinguished by the shape of the copulatory organs. The DNA barcodes of all species were documented for future use.
