e first exact locality is given for Paraclytus thibetanus (Pic, 1914), a species hitherto known only from the holotype from “ibet”. Because both specimens this new record is based on are somewhat different from the holotype, they may actually belong to a separate form of an unknown status. Paraclytus excellens Miroshnikov et Lin, sp. n., which resembles Paraclytus thibetanus by the color pattern of the elytra and pronotum, is described from Yunnan. Paraclytus primus Holzschuh, 1992, originally described from northern Sichuan, is newly reported from southern Shaanxi, these new records considerably expanding the known distribution range of this species. New records not so remote from the type locality are also provided for this species from northern Sichuan. Paraclytus wangi Miroshnikov et Lin, sp. n., which is similar to Paraclytus primus, is described from Luding County, Sichuan. Резюме. Впервые указано точное, но пока единственное местонахождение на крайнем северозападе провинции Юньнань, Китай («Qiqi Reserve, Gongshan County») для Paraclytus thibetanus (Pic, 1914). До настоящего времени этот вид был известен только по голотипу, описанному из «ibet». Показаны отличия двух экземпляров из этого местонахождения от голотипа и высказано предположение об их возможной принадлежности к самостоятельной форме. Отмечено, что для выяснения ее таксономического статуса необходим дополнительный материал. Описан новый вид Paraclytus excellens Miroshnikov et Lin, sp. n. также из провинции Юньнань, рисунком надкрылий и переднеспинки напоминающий Paraclytus thibetanus. Впервые указаны находки Paraclytus primus Holzschuh, 1992 (описанного из Северной Сычуани) на юге провинции Шеньси, значительно расширяющие ареал этого вида. Приведены также его новые находки на севере провинции Сычуань, но незначительно удаленные от типового местонахождения. Описан новый вид Paraclytus wangi Miroshnikov et Lin, sp. n. из округа Лудин в провинции Сычуань, сходный с Paraclytus primus. Introduction Chinese representatives of the genus Paraclytus Bates, 1884 constitute about two thirds of the total volume of the genus. Since their most intense study has begun during the 1990-ies, most of the Chinese species of this genus have been described during only two past decades [Holzschuh, 1992, 1993, 1999, 2003]. New records and discovery of the new species, mostly based on the fragmentary material and in particular presented also in this paper, demonstrate that the Chinese fauna of this group is poorly known. erefore, we presume that many more species are to be discovered and described from this large country in the future. Also the systematic position of the recently and earlier described species [Pic, 1914; Gressitt, 1937a, 1937b, 1951] until recently remained unclear or controversial. In particular many species of Paraclytus were erroneously considered as members of the genus Anaglyptus Mulsant, 1839 until Miroshnikov [2012] transferred them to the former genus. is was done because a thorough comparative morphological analysis of various groups of the tribe Anaglyptini including the genus Paraclytus, on the one hand, confirmed their complex nature, and, on the other hand, established important difference between the genera Paraclytus and Anaglyptus. Characters separating these genera were so far reported by one of us in the oral presentation at the 14th Congress of the Russian Entomological Society held in St. Petersburg in August 2012. Since the article based on that presentation will be published in 2013, here we omit detailed justification of the placement in the genus Paraclytus for species studied here. Instead we refer the reader to that upcoming publication. Here we provide new data about morphology and distribution for the two little-known species of that genus, as well as describe two species new to science.
