Abstract

We examined and keyed out the subgenera of the genus Lepidocyrtus mostly created by Yoshii. Although many of these subgenera of the genus Lepidocyrtus are difficult to apply in Europe, America, and Africa, they are easily applicable in East and Southeast Asia. The species of Southeast Asia are placed in these subgenera and a key to the subgenera is provided. A new species, Lepidocyrtus (Lanocyrtus) felpei from Xinjiang, People's Republic of China, is described and the species Lepidocyrtus (Lanocyrtus) fimetarius Gisin is redescribed. Although the Lepidocyrtus fauna of the whole of East Asia differs from the Holarctic fauna, the Central and Northeast Asian fauna are similar in subgeneric make up to the North American fauna, slightly less similar to the European fauna, and totally unlike the Southeast Asian fauna.

Résumé

Nous avons examiné et identifié au moyen de clefs les sous-genres du genre Lepidocyrtus, la plupart établis par Yoshii. Bien que plusieurs de ces sous-genres de Lepidocyrtus soient difficiles à assigner en Europe, en Amérique et en Afrique, ils s'appliquent bien en Asie de l'Est et du Sud-Est. Nous avons réparti les espèces de l'Asie du Sud-Est dans ces sous-genres et dressé une clef d'identification des sous-genres. Nous décrivons une nouvelle espèce, Lepidocyrtus (Lanocyrtus) felpei, originaire de Hsin-chiang en République populaire de Chine et décrivons à nouveau Lepidocyrtus (Lanocyrtus) fimetarius Gisin. Bien que la faune des Lepidocyrtus de l'ensemble de l'Asie de l'Est soit différente de celle de la région holarctique, la faune du centre et du nord-est de l'Asie est semblable par sa composition subgénérique à celle de l'Amérique du Nord, moins semblable à celle d'Europe et très différente de celle de l'Asie du Sud-Est.
