Abstract
Five new species of Mycterothrips are described from Southwestern China: M. bicolor sp.n. , M. cangshanensis sp.n., M. daweishanensis sp.n., M. hani sp.n. and M. photiniae sp.nov. . The Japanese species M. grandis and the European species M. latus are newly recorded in China. Variation in M. fasciatus is discussed, and an updated key to 18 Mycterothrips species from China is provided.
