Abstract　The genus ThoracochirusBernhauer, 1903, is asuccessful rove beetle group andwell adapted to habitats associated
with leaf litter layer and deadwood. Before ourstudy, onlytwospecies, Thoracochirus variolosus Fauvel, 1895, and T. for
mosaeCameron, 1940, were recordedfrom Taiwan, China. In this paper, we describe three new species, T. yingjiangensis
sp. nov. , T. protumidussp. nov. and T. arcuatussp. nov. , from Yunnan, China. T. variolosusis recordedfrom main
land China for thefirst time. A key tothesefourspecies is presented. All thespecimens, including the types, are deposited in
Institute of Zoology, ChineseAcademy of Science.
Key words　Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Thoracochirus, newspecies.
　　The tribeLeptochirini (Staphylinidae, Osoriinae) HW: head width; PW: pronotum width; EW: width
is an interesting group withspecial bodyform and head of both elytra together. This study is based on the
morphology and is successfully adapted to live under specimens in the collection of IOZ CAS (Institute of
