Abstract: The paper deals with the three species of the lewisius-lineage of the subgenus
Pseudocypus Mulsant & Rey, 1876 of the genus Ocypus Leach, 1819, known to
occur at present on the territory of the People’s Republic of China. Ocypus
lewisius Sharp, 1874 and O. densissimus (Bernhauer, 1933) are redescribed, and
Ocypus jelineki sp. nov. is described as new from specimens from Henan, Hubei
and Shaanxi. Each species is described, illustrated and all available
distributional and bionomic data are given. A key to the Chinese species of the
lewisius-lineage of the subgenus Pseudocypus is given.
