Epeorus (Belovius) carinatus Braasch & Soldán, 1984 was thought to be distributed only in Vietnam until

it was recently reported in southern China. However, some morphological variations are also recognized

among its Chinese populations. Here, an integrative taxonomic approach, which is combined with genetic

analysis based on COI (mtDNA) and morphological evidence, is used to investigate the variation of this

species in China. The results show that E. (B) carinatus previously reported in China actually comprises

two species: the originally identified E. (B) carinatus and a new species, E. (B.) dentatus sp. nov. Both

male imaginal and nymphal stages of two species are described herein. Morphologically, these two species

can be distinguished from each other by (1) nymphal labrum and mandible, (2) coloration of abdominal

terga on both male imaginal and nymphal stages, (3) coloration of wings and (4) shapes of genitalia of

male imagines.
