Abstract

Six species of the genus Saridoscelis Meyrick, 1894 from China are reviewed. Four species are described as new: S. exstria Wang, sp. nov. and S. longiprocessa Wang, sp. nov. from Xizang, S. baoshana Wang, sp. nov. and S. biprocessa Wang, sp. nov. from Yunnan. Images of both adults and genitalia are provided, along with a key to all the treated species.
