Abstract

The Chinese species of the genus Ditrigona Moore, 1888 are reviewed and an annotated catalogue is provided. Four new species are described from China: Ditrigonasinespina Jiang & Han, sp. nov., Ditrigonaparva Jiang & Han, sp. nov., Ditrigonaconcava Guo & Han, sp. nov., and Ditrigonafusca Guo & Han, sp. nov. Derocacrystalla Chu & Wang, 1987 and Auzatellapentesticha Chu & Wang, 1987 are newly combined into, respectively, the derocina and quinaria species groups of Ditrigona. Ditrigonadiana Wilkinson is newly recorded in China. This results in 43 species of Ditrigona for the fauna of China. Illustrations of habitus and genitalia of the new species and most known species are presented.

Keywords: DNA barcoding; Drepaninae; new combination; taxonomy.
