Abstract
The genus Svistella contains 8 species worldwide with 7 recorded from China. In this study, we reconstructed the gene tree based on COI gene, and reported two new species, S. wuyong He sp. nov. and S. malu He sp. nov. The new species differs from allied species in color, male genitalia, songs and molecular study. The type specimens are deposited in the Museum of Biology, East China Normal University (ECNU).
