Abstract

Picolistrus Majer, 1990, is a small genus belonging to the subfamily Listrinae of the family Dasytidae (Coleoptera, Cleroidea). Currently, it comprises five known species: P. inhirsutus (Pic, 1922) and P. gemmatus Plonski, 2016 from China; P. palleatus Majer, 1990, P. brunneus Majer, 1990 and P. helferi Majer, 1990 from Myanmar.<br> A new dasytid species of the genus Picolistrus Majer, 1990 has been discovered from Yunnan, China and is here described under the name of P. flavoapicalis sp. nov. The description is illustrated with habitus, ultimate abdominal tergite and sternite and genitalia of both sexes. The generic diagnosis is updated. A key for identification and a distribution map of all Picolistrus species are provided.
