Abstract

Fifty-six Scrobipalpa species are recorded for China, with supplementary material from some other countries. A checklist of all the species and distribution data are given, with special notes on some known species. Thirteen new species are described: S. distincta sp. n. (Ningxia, Henan), S. erichiodes sp. n. (Gansu, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Xinjiang), S. flavidinigra sp. n. (Ningxia, Inner Mongolia), S. flavimaculata sp. n. (Qinghai), S. flavinerva sp. n. (Inner Mongolia; Mongolia: East Aimak), Scrobipalpa fusca sp. n. (Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang; Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, SE Kazakhstan), S. hoenei sp. n. (Yunnan), S. latiuncella sp. n. (Ningxia), S. nigrigrisea sp. n. (Tibet), S. nigripuncta sp. n. (Henan), S. ochrostigma sp. n. (Gansu), S. sinica sp. n. (Inner Mongolia; Mongolia) and S. strictella sp. n. (Hebei). 32 species are recorded for China for the first time. Hitherto unknown males of S. sattleri Lvovsky & Piskunov, 1989 and S. caryocoloides Povolný, 1977 are described. The lack of signum in the female genitalia of S. ochrostigma is recorded for the first time for the genus Scrobipalpa. Images of the adults and illustration of the genital structures of the new species and some known species are provided.
