          Abstract

          The first species of the genus Cynegetis Chevrolat is recorded from China. Cynegetis chinensis Wang & Ren, sp. n. is described from the Ningxia Province in North China. A key to the known species of Cynegetis is given. Diagnostic similarities and differences between Cynegetis and Subcoccinella Agassiz & Erichson are discussed and illustrated.

              Revision of the Asian species of Afidentula Kapur, 1958 (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Epilachnini).

              The Asian species of Afidentula Kapur are revised, diagnosed and illustrated. The following new synonyms are proposed: Afidentula stephensi (Mulsant, 1850) (= Afidentula erberi Fürsch, 1984); Afidentula thanhsonensis Hoang, 1977 (=Afidentula cucphuongensis Hoang, 1977). The status of Afidentula herbigrada (Mulsant, 1850) as a synonym of Afidentula bisquadripunctata (Gyllenhal, 1808) is confirmed. One new species: Afidentula semisqualens sp. nov. and three new subspecies: A. manderstjernae bielawskii ssp. nov., A. manderstjernae bhutani ssp. nov. and A. manderstjernae bahraini ssp. nov. are described. The lectotype is designated for: Epilachna minima Gorham, 1894. A key for species identification is presented. Nomenclatural history and distribution are provided for each species. Afidentula decimaculata Wang & Cao, 1992 is treated here as incertae sedis, due to the unavailability of material for study.
