Abstract

This paper reports the occurrence of the subfamily Scydmaeninae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) in the Wumenshan National Nature Reserve, Yunnan, China. Four species in three genera were recognized: Euconnus (s. str.) wumengshanus Yin & Zhou, sp. nov., Himaloconnus obesus Yin & Zhou, sp. nov., Scydmaenus (s. str.) chinensis Franz, 1988, and Scydmaenus (s. str.) vestitus (Sharp, 1874). The new species are described, and diagnoses and illustrations of the habitus and key diagnostic characters are provided for all four species to aid identification. In addition, Scydmaenus kunmingensis Franz, 1988, syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of S. vestitus.
