Abstract
Furcanthicus gen. nov. (Anthicinae: Anthicini) and three new species from the Oriental region are described: Furcanthicus acutibialis sp. nov. (China: Tibet), F. telnovi sp. nov. (China: Yunnan), and F. validus sp. nov. (China: Sichuan). Some critical morphological characters of this genus are discussed. Eight new combinations are established for the following taxa: Furcanthicus punctiger (Krekich-Strassoldo, 1931) comb. nov., F. rubens (Krekich-Strassoldo, 1931) comb. nov., F. maderi (Heberdey, 1938) comb. nov., F. monstrator (Telnov, 2005) comb. nov., F. vicarius (Telnov, 2005) comb. nov., F. lepcha (Telnov, 2018) comb. nov., F. vicinor (Telnov, 2018) comb. nov. (all from Anthicus Paykull, 1798), and Nitorus lii (Uhmann, 1997) comb. nov. (from Pseudoleptaleus Pic, 1900). Two informal species-groups are established: F. maderi and F. rubens species-group. The little-known species F. maderi, F. rubens, and F. punctiger are redescribed, diagnosed, and illustrated. The distribution map and key to species of this new genus are provided.
