Abstract

The subgenus Tipula (Acutipula) Alexander, 1924 is recorded from Henan, east-central China, for the first time. One species, T. henanensis sp. nov., is described as new to science. The following four species are redescribed: T. pseudacanthophora Yang and Yang, T. pseudocockerelliana Yang and Yang, T. gansuensis Yang and Yang and T. buboda Yang and Yang. A key to the species of the subgenus Acutipula from Henan is presented.
