Abstract

The following three new species in the subfamily Diptilomiopinae from Fengyangshan, Zhejiang Province, China, are described and illustrated in this paper: Acarhynchus ferrocalamus sp. nov. infesting Ferrocalamus strictus Hsueh et Keng, f. (Poaceae ); Diptacus daphniphyllus sp. nov. infesting Daphniphyllum macropodum Miq. (Daphniphyllaceae), and Diptacus symplocos sp. nov. infesting Symplocos paniculata (Thunb.) Miq. (Symplocaceae). A new name, Diptilomiopus japonicus nom. nova replacing the junior homonym Vilaia euryae Kuang & Luo 2005, is provided.
