Abstract

Three new species of Lasianobia Hampson, 1905 are described from China: Lasianobia dvoraki Saldaitis, Volynkin & Truuverk, sp. nov. (W Sichuan), Lasianobia labranga Saldaitis, Volynkin & Truuverk, sp. nov. (SW Gansu) and Lasianobia qinghana Saldaitis, Volynkin & Truuverk, sp. nov. (Qinghai). Adults and male genitalia of these new species and their relatives are illustrated, and a generic check list presented.
