- Abstract
Two new species of the genusEumyllocerusSharp, 1896, of the subfamily Entiminae Schoenherr, 1823, are described from China.Eumyllocerus longisetussp. n. may be distinguished from other species of the genus by its long bristle-like, erect setae on the intervals, each of which is longer than the width of the second interval, the setae arranged in double rows, and its shell-like, shiny, dense, metallic green scales.Eumyllocerus rotundicorpussp. n. may be distinguished from any otherEumyllocerusspecies by its oval and inflated elytral shape, short stout metepisternum, small humeri, elytral setae shorter than 0.5 times the width of the second interval, the setae arranged in double rows, and its golden copper and pearl gray scales. The taxonomy of the genus is discussed. The two new species are described and habitus photographs and figures of diagnostic characters are provided. The type specimens of the new species are deposited in the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China (holotype and paratypes) and the Korean Entomological Institute, Korea University, Seoul, Korea (paratypes).
