| description | <i>Nalepa</i> Reitter, 1887 is a monotypic genus of the tenebrionid tribe Blaptini and is endemic to the Tibetan Plateau. In this study, the genus <i>Nalepa</i> was reviewed using a combination of molecular and morphological datasets. Based on the results, six new species were described: <i>N.</i><i>acuminata </i><b>sp. n.</b>, <i>N. ovalifolia </i><b>sp. n.</b>, <i>N.</i><i>polita </i><b>sp. n.</b>, <i>N. quadrata </i><b>sp. n.</b>, <i>N.</i><i>xinlongensis </i><b>sp. n.</b>, and <i>N.</i><i>yushuensis </i><b>sp. n.</b> In addition, the larvae of <i>N. cylindracea</i> Reitter, 1887 and <i>N. quadrata </i><b>sp. n.</b> were described and associated with related adults using molecular approaches. This study provides valuable molecular and morphological data for phylogenetic studies. |
