A new species of the tribe Panagaeini ( Coleoptera:Carabiae) Craspedophorus qiongensis sp. Nov. Was described and illustrated from Jianfengling Nature Reserve, Hainan Province. The unique female type specimen was deposited in the insect collection of South China Agricultural University.Length; 13.5 mm, width; 5.0 mm.This new species is similar to C. Obscurus Xie et Yu, 1992 of Fujian Province, but it can be easily distinguished from the latter by the following character states; 1) its pronotum clypeat, wider and broader at apical half, side margins not produced in middle as in C. Obscurus; 2) the hind angle of pronotum is broader and more obtuse than that of C. Obscurus; 3) antennomere 1 is subequal to antennomere 3 (but antennomere 1 shorter in C. Obscurus) ; 4) labrum and mandibles yellowish (black in C. Obscurus) ; and 5) the fore elytral spot occupies intervals 6-10 rather than 6-9 in C. Obscurus.Compared with C. Philippinus Jedlicka, 1939, which was also recorded in Hainan Province, C. Qiongensis sp. Nov. Is larger in sized (12. 0 - 12. 5 mm in C. Philippinus) , only antennomeres 1-3 dark brown ( all antennae dark brown in C. Philippinus) , mouthparts and palps yellow (but dark brown in C. Philippinus), and the fore elytral spot occupies intervals of 6 -10 (but 5 -10 in C. Philippinus).Etymology; " Qiong" is the abbreviation for Hainan Province. The new species is named after its locality.%描述产于海南省尖峰岭自然保护区宽带步甲属昆虫一新种琼宽带步甲Craspedophorus qiongensis sp.nov..新种与产于福建的萦宽带步甲C.obscurus Xie et Yu,1992相似,但前胸背板形状明显不同,新种前胸背板盾形,其侧缘中部不呈角状；另外,新种上唇、上颚均为黄色.新种体形较同分布于海南省的菲宽带步甲C.philippinus Jedli(c)ka 稍长,触角仅第1～3黑褐色、口须黄色,且鞘翅前斑起自第6行距,易于区别.
