A review of the genus Pelenomus Thomson (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Ceutorhynchinae) from China

The genus Pelenomus Thomson from China is revised and six species are found occurring in China. Among them, P. curvatus, sp. nov. is described from Yunnan province, and four species are newly recorded from China: P waltoni (Boheman, 1843), P. canaliculatus (Fahraeus, 1843), P. quadricorniger (Colonnelli, 1986) and P roelofsi (Hustache, 1916). Taxonomic diagnosis, habitus photos, detailed illustrations and distribution map of each species are provided, as well as a key to all the Chinese species. This study raised the number of Chinese Pelenomus from one to six species.
