Abstract
The genus Tridrepana Swinhoe in China is reviewed, nineteen species are recognized, of which, three new species T. subadelpha sp. nov., T. bicuspidata sp. nov. and T. subunispina sp. nov. from Yunnan and Hainan are described; two new synonyms are introduced: T. leva Chu & Wang, 1988. syn. n. (= T. crocea (Leech, 1888)) and T. flava sinica Chu & Wang, 1988. syn. n. (= T. flava flava (Moore, 1879)); T. emina is sunk to be a subspecies of T. arikana; T. argentistriga Warren, 1896 and T. rubromarginata indica Watson, 1957 are recorded in China for the first time. Descriptions for the genus and new species, a key and diagnoses for the Chinese species are provided. Illustrations of the external features and the genitalia are presented.References
