Abstract

Two new species of the genus Parakiefferiella Thienemann, 1936 (P. fasciata Liu & Wang, sp. n. and P. liupanensis Liu & Wang, sp. n.) are described as adult males from China. Parakiefferiella tamatriangulata Sasa is recorded from China for the first time. A key to the known adult males of Parakiefferiella from China is presented. The generic diagnosis of male Parakiefferiella given by Cranston et al. (1989) is emended.
