Abstract

Three species of the genus Chilo are studied in China. Chilo argenteus sp. nov. collected from Yunnan and C. sinuafasciata sp. nov. collected from Hainan are described as new in science. Chilo partellus (Swinhoe, 1885) is newly recorded for the Chinese fauna. Images of adults and genitalia of the three species are provided. A list of 19 known Chilo species in China is included.
