Abstract

From Hainan Province, southern China, a new genus of Carventinae: Caiaptera n. gen with the species C. picea n. sp. and a new genus of Mezirinae: Hainanmezira n. gen with the species H. latiscutellata n. sp. as well as Notoplocaptera hainanensis n. sp., are described and illustrated. Additional records are given, and a list of species recorded to date from this province is presented.
