Abstract
The genus Ophthalmitis Oberthür in China is reviewed and four new species are described: O. dissita sp. nov., O. longiprocessa sp. nov., O. brevispina sp. nov., and O. tumefacta sp. nov. Two subspecies of O. albosignaria -- O. albosignaria juglandaria and O. albosignaria isophnia -are newly synonymized with the nominate subspecies. A key is provided to the Chinese Ophthalmitis and diagnoses for Chinese species. Illustrations of external features and genitalia are presented.References
