Abstract: Haroldius jechaer sp. nov. from Yunnan province, China, is described and
illustrated. The new species resembles H. stevensi Arrow, 1931 in having a
large body (length 3.8 mm) and a small semi-elliptic bordered area near the
base of the pronotum. Both species can be separated mainly by their different
colour, punctation and macrosetation of the dorsal surface. An updated annotated
checklist of all described species of Haroldius Boucomont, 1914 is added.
