Abstract

The following nine species from China are described as new to science: Homoneura (Chaetohomoneura) disciformis sp. nov., Homoneura (Neohomoneura) biconcava sp. nov., H. (N.) denticuligera sp. nov., H. (N.) elliptica sp. nov., H. (N.) guangdongica sp. nov., H. (N.) longicomata sp. nov., H. (N.) nigrimarginata sp. nov., H. (N.) pufujii sp. nov., H. (N.) quadrifera sp. nov., and the species H. (N.) nebulosa Sasakawa, 2001 is recorded from China for the first time. A key to separate species from China is presented.
