Abstract

Four new species of the genus Chrysoteuchia Hübner are described from China: C. rotundiprojecta Li & Li, sp. n., C. nonifasciaria Li & Li, sp. n., C. furva Li & Li, sp. n. and C. shafferi Li & Li, sp. n. The female of C. hyalodiscella (Caradja, 1927) is described for the first time. Images of both adults and genitalia of the new species are provided. The distribution data of the thirty-two known Chinese species are presented, along with two maps showing the localities of these species.
