Megadrypta mirabilis n. gen. n. sp. from Guangdong (China) is described. The new genus is distinguished from all known genera by a combination of large body size, pronotal bead well marked, sloping shoulders, reduced hind wings, smooth claws and stylomeres, and a large number (7-8) of periscutellar pores. Some remarks are made upon the relationships with the other genera of Dryptini, raising to the genus rank the taxa Nesiodrypta Jeannel, 1949 and Prionodrypta Jeannel, 1949, formerly regarded as subgenera of Drypta Latreille, 1796. A new key to all the genera of this tribe is proposed.
描述了来自中国广东的奇异巨隐翅虫新属新种。该新属与所有已知属的区别在于体型大、前胸背板棱明显、肩部倾斜、后翅退化、爪和柄节光滑，以及盾后孔数量多（7 - 8个）。对其与隐翅虫族其他属的关系进行了一些讨论，将1949年Jeannel的Nesiodrypta和1949年Jeannel的Prionodrypta这两个以前被视为1796年Latreille的Drypta亚属的分类单元提升为属级。提出了该族所有属的新检索表。
