Abstract

Six species of the genus Stenoloba Staudinger, 1892 (S. yunley sp. nov., S. viridibasis sp. nov., S. oculatoides sp. nov., S. viridinivea sp. nov., S. rufosagittoides sp. nov., and S. acutivalva sp. nov.) are described from South China. The new combination Stenoloba brunneola comb. n. for Bryophila brunneola Draudt, 1950 is introduced. Seven species: S. pulla Ronkay, 2001, S. benedeki Ronkay, 2001, S. viridimicta Hampson, 1910, S. lichenosella Kononenko & Ronkay, 2001, S. glauca Kononenko & Ronkay, 2001, S. viridescens Kononenko & Ronkay, 2001 and S. lanceola Ronaky, 2001, previously known from North Vietnam and North India are reported from China for the first time. The male genitalia of S. basiviridis Draudt, 1950 and the female genitalia of S. lichenosella Kononenko & Ronkay, 2001 are described and illustrated for the first time. The generic name Lepidopyrga Warren, 1914 is synonymized (syn. n.) with Stenoloba. The taxon S. glauca kuytekparki Sohn & Han, 2005 is synonymized (syn. n.) with S. glauca. Most species are illustrated with imagines, male and female genitalia. A checklist of Stenoloba species in China is presented.
