The present paper describes nine new Otacilia species from Southwest China: O. mira sp. nov. (♀, ♂) and O. pyriformis sp. nov. (♀, ♂) from Chongqing, O. papilion sp. nov. (♀, ♂) from Guizhou, O. aurita sp. nov. (♀, ♂), O. digitata sp. nov. (♂), O. leibo sp. nov. (♀, ♂) and O. ovata sp. nov. (♀, ♂) from Sichuan, O. acuta sp. nov. (♀, ♂) and O. flexa sp. nov.
