Abstract: A new species of the tribe Panagaeini (Coleoptera:Carabiae) Craspedophorus qiongensis sp. nov. was described and illustrated from Jianfengling Nature Reserve, Hainan Province. The unique female type specimen was deposited in the insect collection of South China Agricultural University. Length: 13.5 mm, width: 5.0 mm.This new species is similar to C. obscurus Xie et Yu, 1992 of Fujian Province, but it can be easily distinguished from the latter by the following character states: 1) its pronotum clypeat, wider and broader at apical half, side margins not produced in middle as in C. obscurus; 2) the hind angle of pronotum is broader and more obtuse than that of C. obscurus; 3) antennomere 1 is subequal to antennomere 3 (but antennomere 1 shorter in C. obscurus); 4) labrum and mandibles yellowish (black in C. obscurus); and 5) the fore elytral spot occupies intervals 6-10 rather than 6-9 in C. obscurus.Compared with C. philippinus Jedli?ka, 1939, which was also recorded in Hainan Province, C. qiongensis sp. nov. is larger in sized (12.0-12.5 mm in C. philippinus), only antennomeres 1-3 dark brown (all antennae dark brown in C. philippinus), mouthparts and palps yellow (but dark brown in C. philippinus), and the fore elytral spot occupies intervals of 6-10 (but 5-10 in C. philippinus).Etymology: “Qiong” is the abbreviation for Hainan Province. The new species is named after its locality.
