Abstract
A new genus, Serralanguriagen. nov. (type species: Serralanguria sinensissp. nov.), of the tribe Languriini from Asia is described and illustrated. This genus is characterized by a spherical, smooth pronotum, an elongate-oval terminal antennomere, and a terminal tarsomere distinctly broadened apically. On the basis of these morphological features, a new combination is proposed: Serralanguria ochreipennis (Fowler, 1890), comb. nov., initially considered in Languria and later in Caenolanguria and Anadastus. A key to the genera of Languriinae known from China is provided.
