This finding, from one side, extends the known distribution of Chinese hypogean trechines, and from another, it raises the upper limit of their vertical distribution to nearly 4000 m. Photographs of the habitus and major taxonomic characters, including the male genitalia, right mandible, and microsculpture patterns of the integument are supplied. The type locality of the new taxon is mapped. <jats:italic>Yalongaphaenops<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>gen. nov.<\/jats:bold> shows some similarities with the genus <jats:italic>Shiqianaphaenops<\/jats:italic> Tian, 2016 from eastern Guizhou and the genus <jats:italic>Boreaphaenops<\/jats:italic> U\u00e9no, 2002 described from Hubei, China. However, the direct relationships of the new genus remain unclear. Further new discoveries of hypogean trechines in Sichuan are necessary to evaluate possible variation of major characters in allied taxa. Although <jats:italic>Y. erwini<\/jats:italic><jats:bold>sp. nov.<\/jats:bold> was collected at an elevation exceeding 3800 m a.s.l., it conforms to the upper limit of the forest zone being approximately on par with the vertical distribution of some high altitude hypogean trechine species in other parts of the globe.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3897\/zookeys.1044.62572","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,16]],"date-time":"2021-06-16T13:31:06Z","timestamp":1623850266000},"page":"197-220","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Yalongaphaenops erwini gen. et sp. nov., the world\u2019s most high-altitude hypogean trechine beetle from China (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechinae)"],"prefix":"10.3897","volume":"1044","author":[{"given":"Igor A.","family":"Belousov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5549-6539","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ilya I.","family":"Kabak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2258","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"62572_B1","author":"Belousov","year":"1998","journal-title":"Le complexe g\u00e9n\u00e9rique de Nannotrechus Winkler du Caucase et de la Crim\u00e9e (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechini)."},{"key":"62572_B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1163\/9789004330290"},{"key":"62572_B3","first-page":"49","article-title":"Contribution to the knowledge of species of the genus Trechus Clairv.
