Abstract

Matrona oreades Hämäläinen, Yu & Zhang, spec. nov. (holotype ♂ , China, Gansu, Wenxian, Bikou, alt. 950m, 9/13 vii 2005) and Matrona corephaea Hämäläinen, Yu & Zhang, spec. nov. (holotype ♂ , China, Zhejiang, West Tianmushan, alt. 700m, 8 viii 2007) are described and illustrated for both sexes. These two species differ markedly from the members of the Matrona basilaris species group by their sparser venation and absence of bluish-white reticulation at the wing base.
