Abstract
This paper deals with five species of the genus Ancylosis mainly collected from Ningxia Habahu Nature Reserves, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in China. Ancylosis biculcita Li, sp. nov. is described as new to science; A. delicatella (Möschler, 1860) and A. citrinella (Ragonot, 1887) are newly recorded for the Chinese fauna. Images of adults and genitalia of mentioned species are provided.
