Abstract: The genus Bethylus Latreille, 1802, is recorded from China for the first time. A new species of this genus, Bethylus sinensis Xu, He et Terayama, sp. Nov., is described from Liaoning Province. This species resembles Bethylus fuscicornis (Jurine, 1807) but distinguished from the latter by the narrower head, the absence of unsculptured longitudinal belt of the propodeal disc, and 4-toothed mandibles.
