Abstract

Fourteen species of Phaecasiophora Grote from the Chinese Mainland are treated, including five new species (P. supparallelica sp. n., P. levis sp. n., P. curvicosta sp. n., P. lushina sp. n., and P. similithaiensis sp. n.) and three new species records for China. Phaecasiophora leechi is transferred from subgenus Megasyca to subgenus Phaecasiophora, and a new synonym of it, viz. P. obligata Kawabe, is proposed. Photographs of the adults, genitalia of the new species, and the species with new synonyms are provided. A key to the species from the Chinese Mainland based on genitalia is given.
