Type species: Dendrophilus quatuordecimstriatus Stephens, 1835 : 412 . Designated by Bickhardt, 1917 : 113. Synonymy: Carcinus Marseul, 1855 , t. 8 (nec Latreille, 1796 : 197, emend). Remarks. About 50 species of the genus Carcinops have been described worldwide ( Mazur 1997 ). The majority of them are known from the New World, though some occur in the Oriental, Ethiopian and Australian regions. The beetles are found in decaying remains of animals and plants; some live in bird and rodent nests ( Mazur 2001 ). The genus Carcinops is subdivided into two subgenera and only the subgenus Carcinops s.str. (with two species) has been found in China ( Lewis 1909 , 1915 ). Here, an additional new species is described from Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, southwestern China .
