Abstract

This article contains descriptions of three new species of Chinese Dermaptera: Timomenus bicolor sp. nov. from Xizang, Timomenus bii sp. nov. from Yunnan and Cordax serratus sp. nov. from Guangxi. Four new specific synonymies and three new combinations are proposed. We also emend the generic diagnosis of Mesolabia Shiraki, 1906 by providing characteristics of the male. Keys to the species of Timomenus, Cordax and Mesolabia from China are provided.
