Remarks.
The genus
Eulomalus
was erected by
Cooman (1937)
for seven newly described species and 14 species transferred from the genus
Paromalus
. Thereafter, two additional species were described (
Cooman 1941
;
Thérond 1965
).
Mazur (1984
,
1997
) transferred another two species from the genus
Paromalus
to this genus. Thus, before this study the genus
Eulomalus
included 25 species worldwide. They occur mainly in Oriental and Australian Regions; only one is found in Africa (
Seychelles
). Before this study, only two species have been found in
China
(
Mazur 1997
;
Löbl & Smetana 2004
). In this paper, we describe one new species from Hainan province and record four other species for the first time in
China
.
