Material examined. CHINA: HONG KONG: 1 Ƌ, 2 ♀♀: Tai Po. I.1996. leg. G. de Rougemont ( OUMNH); 1 Ƌ: Tai Po. XII.1996. leg. G. de Rougemont ( CS) .

Remarks. Homalium sulcicolle was originally described from Palembang (Sumatra, Indonesia) based on an unspecified number of syntypes. The species was redescribed by Steel (1960) and transferred to Paraphloeostiba . Rougemont (2001) mentioned specimens belonging to the ‘ sulcicolle group’ from Hong Kong as ‘ Paraphloeostiba undescribed species’. The aedeagus is illustrated in Fig. 4 . The distribution of the species is mapped in Fig. 38 . It is here recorded from China for the first time.
