Three new species of the family Rotundabaloghidae are described from Hong Kong. Angulobaloghia staryi sp. nov. differs from the other AngulobaloghiaHirschmann, 1979 species in the shape and ornamentation of the genital shield of the female. Rotundabaloghia (Rotundabaloghia) hongkongensis sp. nov. has three pairs of short setae (St1, V2 and V6) on the ventral idiosoma, which is unique in the subgenus Rotundabaloghia (Rotundabaloghia)Hirschmann, 1975a. The long, robust and curved setae in the big ventral cavity of Depressorotunda (Depressorotunda) taurina sp. nov. is a character so far unknown in the subgenus Depressorotunda (Depressorotunda)Kontschan, 2010a.
