Two new species and two new combinations within Paleosepharia (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae) from China
In this study, two new species of the leaf-beetle genus <i>Paleosepharia</i> Laboissière, 1936 from China are described: <i>P.subrubra</i> Feng, Yang & Ge, <b>sp. nov.</b> and <i>P.emeiensis</i> Feng, Yang & Ge, <b>sp. nov.</b> Meanwhile, <i>Paleosephariatruncata</i> Laboissière, 1936 is first recorded for China. Additionally, <i>Monoleptabicavipennis</i> Chen, 1942 and <i>Monoleptaquadricavata</i> Chen, 1976 are redescribed and proposed as new combinations under <i>Paleosepharia</i>.
