Abstract: While studying the Carnivora material from the Yushe area a few years ago, Tedford noticed a well preserved Indarctos skull from Baode, China, in the Frick Collection housed in the AMNH. The skull in association with its mandibles and atlas was sent to Frick by one of his agents, Mr. Liu Hsi Ku, in 1934. Qiu, while visiting to the AMNH in 2001, together with Tedford, studied this specimen and found that it belonged evidently to a new species of the genus Indarctos, widely diffe2 rent from the two known species in China. So far more or less complete skulls have been known only from two European localities (Can Llobateres and Samos). No complete skull has ever been described in China. In view of its importance for our understanding of the Chinese Indarctos, it is described here.
