Abstract

The genus Mohrigia Menzel, 1995 from China is reviewed and 20 species are recognized. Among them, nine new species, M. angusta sp. nov., M. cylindrata sp. nov., M. inflata sp. nov., M. globulosa sp. nov., M. notolobos sp. nov., M. ovoidea sp. nov., M. scrobiculata sp. nov., M. subrhynchophysa sp. nov., M. truncatula sp. nov., are described with detailed illustrations, and one described species, M. hippai Menzel, 1995 is reported for the first time from China. Lycoriella longirostris Yang, Zhang & Yang, 1995 is recognized as new synonym of M. megalocornuta (Mohrig & Menzel, 1992). In addition, M. rhynchophysa (Yang, Zhang & Yang, 1993) and M. orthacantha (Yang, Zhang & Yang, 1993) are new combinations. The geographical distribution of the 20 Chinese species is provided, as well as a key to the 21 species of Mohrigia.
