报道了14族31属50种拟步甲科昆虫的腹部防御腺体,其中13族20属32种是世界首次报道.根据每种贮液囊着生位置、形状、长度、宽度、囊袋间距和腺体的表面花纹等特征,逐级归纳出属级、族级和科级阶元特征,据此编制出较为系统的中国拟步甲科防御腺分属检索表;使用系统学分类研究软件初步确定了拟步甲科14族的系统发育关系,得出其族级进化趋势为栉甲族Omophlini>伪叶甲族Lagriini> 隐甲族Crypticini> 扁足甲族Pedinini>刺甲族Platyscilidini>拟粉甲族Triboliini>树甲族Strongyliini>轴甲族Cnodalonini>垫甲族Heterotarsini>烁甲族Amerygmiini>粉菌甲族Alphitophagini>谷甲族Ulomini>土甲族Opatrini> 琵甲族Blaptini.附图74个.
