Abstract

To improve our understanding of the Yponomeutinae of China, the specimens of three institutional collections were examined to discover new taxa and all previous records were reviewed. As a result, we recognize a total of 71 species of Chinese Yponomeutinae, including three new species: Cedestis leucopterostigmatis n. sp., Euhyponomeutoides spadix n. sp., and Yponomeuta zebra n. sp., and a new record of Zelleria japonicella Moriuti from China. Unavailability of three species names in the most recent list: Yponomeuta hebeiensis Liu, 1984, Yponomeuta nigrofasciatus Yang, 1979, and Yponomeuta ulingensis Yang, 1979, is suggested. Photos of adults and genitalia are provided for all species described.
