Abstract: Records of 27 species of Silphidae, collected by Czech and Slovak entomologists
in China during 1990–1995 are presented. Nicrophorus vestigator (Herschel,
1807) is reported from this territory for the first time; Thanatophilus
roborowskyi (Jakovlev, 1887), T. pilosus (Jakovlev, 1890) and T. dentigerus
(Semenov, 1891) were previously reported only from “Tibet“ of China. Recent
findings of Nicrophorus przewalskyi (Semenov, 1894) and N. unifasciatus
(Hlisnikovský, 1964) are also recorded.
