Only three species of Medetera Fischer von Waldheim were known from Inner Mongolia. Here the following ten new species of Medetera, of which three species belong to M. apicalis group and seven belong to M. diadema-veles group, are added to the fauna of Inner Mongolia: M. albens sp. n., M. bisetifera sp. n., M. flava sp. n., M. ganshuiensis sp. n., M. lihuae sp. n., and M. transformata sp. n., M. triseta sp. n., M. shiae sp. n., M. shuimogouensis sp. n., and M. xiquegouensis sp. n. A key to the species of Medetera from Palaearctic China is provided.
