          Abstract

          A remarkable aphaenopsian beetle, a sympatric species of Qianotrechus tenuicollis Uéno, 2000, was newly discovered in Cave Mahuang Dong of Shuanghe Dong cave system, the longest cave system of China in Suiyang County, northern Guizhou Province. To categorize this striking but still unknown species, a new genus and species are proposed: Shuangheaphaenops elegans gen. n., sp. n. Relationships of Shuangheaphaenops and other highly modified aphaenopsian genera from southern China Karsts are discussed.

          A new species of the highly modified hypogean genus Giraffaphaenops Deuve, 2002 (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Trechinae) .

          Giraffaphaenops yangi n. sp. is described from a limestone cave named Shizikou Dadong, Tianlin County, northwestern Guangxi, China. It is the second species of this genus, which is the most morphologically modified in the tribe Trechini in terms of troglobiomorphy. So far, Giraffaphaenops ranges in a small karstic area in northwestern Guangxi. Of the two known species, G. clarkei Deuve, 2002 was recorded from four caves in Leye County, whereas G. yangi n. sp. is known from the only type locality cave in Tianlin County. A distributional map of the genus Giraffaphaenops is also provided. In addition, two females of G. clarkei are recorded from the cave Yanwu Dong, Leye County.
