Abstract

The genus Mitjaevia Dworakowska is reviewed with five new species described from China: M. acrodonta, M. bisecta, M. flexuosa, M. quinquedentata and M. tridentata spp. nov.. Detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations of these five new species and a key to all known species (males) from China are provided.
