Abstract
The genus Leucoma Hübner from China is reviewed. Based on morphological characters and DNA barcode data, fourteen species belonging to this genus are recognized, with descriptions of two new species: L. nyingchiensis sp. nov. and L. sichuana sp. nov.. Illustrations of adults and their genitalia are provided along with a key to all currently known species of Leucoma in China.
