Abstract
Two new species of the genus Manulea Wallengren, 1863 are described: Manulea lienquan sp. nov. (N Vietnam and SW China, Sichuan) and Manulea labahe sp. nov. (SW China, Sichuan). Eilema costipuncta postmaculosa (Matsumura, 1927) endemic to Taiwan Island is transferred to the genus Manulea and upgraded to the species level: Manulea postmaculosa (Matsumura, 1927), stat. rev. & comb. nov. A new combination is established: Manulea costipuncta (Leech, 1890), comb. nov. All taxa are illustrated in 16 colour and 10 black and white diagnostic figures.
