Distribution of flightless insect lineages often help us to identify the areas of long-term stability which serve as biodiversity hotspots. In this paper we taxonomically revise the wingless click-beetle genus Neodima Schimmel Platia, 1992 endemic to the mountainous regions of Sichuan, China. Neodima sichuanensis Schimmel Platia, 1992 and N. cechovskyi Schimmel, 1998 are redescribed, and N. belousovi Prosvirov Kundrata sp. nov. is described as new for science. The distribution and morphological diversity of Neodima is discussed, main diagnostic characters for all species are figured, and an identification key to the species of this genus is provided. Mouthparts as well as female pregenital segments and genitalia are described and figured for the first time for this genus. Further, we compare Neodima to morphologically similar genera, and discuss its systematic position within Dimini.
无翅昆虫谱系的分布常常有助于我们识别那些作为生物多样性热点的长期稳定区域。在本文中，我们对中国四川山区特有的无翅叩甲属Neodima Schimmel Platia（1992年）进行了分类学修订。重新描述了1992年的四川新萤叩甲Neodima sichuanensis Schimmel Platia和1998年的切氏新萤叩甲N. cechovskyi Schimmel，并描述了新物种贝氏新萤叩甲Neodima belousovi Prosvirov Kundrata sp. nov.。讨论了新萤叩甲属的分布和形态多样性，绘制了所有物种的主要鉴别特征，并提供了该属物种的检索表。首次描述并绘制了该属的口器以及雌性生殖节前部和生殖器。此外，我们将新萤叩甲与形态相似的属进行比较，并讨论了它在萤叩甲族中的系统位置。
