A study on the flea beetle genus Euphitrea Baly from China, with the description of five new species (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Alticinae).

Twenty-seven species of Euphitrea Baly from China are studied. Among them, Euphitrea antennata Zhang and Yang, E. cheni Zhang and Yang, E. hainana Zhang and Yang, E. mandibula Wang and Zhang and E. omeia Zhang and Yang are described as new to science. Euphitrea gressitti (Chujo) is transferred from the genus Neorthaea Maulik (n. comb.). A key to the known Chinese species is given. The habitus of the five new species, and the antennae, aedeagus, spermatheca, vaginal palpi and tignum of most species are illustrated.
