Ten new species of the genus Stathmopoda are described: S. basirotata sp. nov., S. bicoloriptera sp. nov., S. bucera sp. nov., S. hamulata sp. nov., S. ochricolorata sp. nov., S. octacantha sp. nov., S. pyriformis sp. nov., S. rhombica sp. nov., S. tetracantha sp. nov. and S. tristriata sp. nov. Also, three species: S. citrinella Sinev, 1995, S. orbiculata Meyrick, 1913 and S. tecticochlea Terada, 2016 are newly recorded for China. Images of both adults and genitalia for the species are provided, along with a map showing the distribution of them in China.
