Abstract

Five Chinese species of click-beetles of the genus Gamepenthes Fleutiaux, 1928 are discussed, i.e., G. antennatus (Miwa, 1934); G. holzschuhiSchimmel, 2003; G. hubeiensisSchimmel, 2003; G. jiangxiensisi Schimmel, 2004 and G. montivagus (Miwa, 1929). Two new species, G. clavator Liu & Jiang, sp. n. and G. cuneus Liu & Jiang, sp. n., are described from southern China. Gamapenthes versipellis is removed from the fauna of the Elateridae of China because the records were based on misidentifications. A preliminary key to the species of Gamepenthes in China and a distribution map of the Chinese species of the genus are provided.
