Abstract

This paper deals with seventeen species of the genus Rhopobota from China. Five species (R. furcata sp. n., R. orbiculata sp. n., R. fanjingensis sp. n., R. floccosa sp. n. and R. bucera sp. n.) are described as new to science and four species [R. blanditana (Kuznetsov), R. falcata Nasu, R. okui Nasu and R. symbolias (Meyrick)] are new for China. The male of Rhopobota eclipticodes (Meyrick) is described for the first time. Photographs of the adults and genitalia of the species mentioned are provided. A key to the known Chinese species is given based on adults and male genitalia.
