Erythrotes murzini gen. nov. and sp. nov. from China (Sichuan Province) is described and illustrated. The new genus is close to EupromusPascoe, 1868, but the latter has smaller eyes, elytra with distinct costae and big punctation, mesocoxal process with distinct distal tubercle, and pronotum with black central line. Elytra of the species in Eupromus is not granulated. The new species described here is larger than most of the Eupromus species.
