Abstract
A new species of Autocrates J. Thomson, 1860 is described and illustrated from the well-known biodiversity refugium of Dayaoshan Mountains in Guangxi Province, SE China. The new species, Autocrates lini sp. nov., appears closely related to A. vitalisi Vuillet, 1912. The type of A. vitalisi was studied, illustrated and is here re-described. An updated and supplemented species key to Autocrates is provided.
