Abstract
The subgenus Hemilepistus (Desertellio) Verhoeff, 1930 is reported from China for the first time. A new species of the subgenus, H. (D.) gracilentus Li & Jiang sp. nov., is described from Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, northwestern China and H. (D.) ruderalis (Pallas, 1771) is redescribed as a new record for Chinese Fauna, and its polymorphism is verified by using the COI sequences. A key to the worldwide species of the subgenus is provided.
