Abstract

Ten species of the genus Lista are recognized from China. Among them, five species are described as new to science, namely, L. angustusa sp. n., L. gilvasa sp. n., L. longifundamena sp. n., L. menghaiensis sp. n., and L. sichuanensis sp. n. Diagnoses are provided for the genus and five previously described species, L. haraldusalis (Walker, 1859), L. insulsalis (Lederer, 1863), L. ficki (Christoph, 1881), L. plinthochroa (West, 1931), and L. variegata (Moore, 1888), that occur in China. Two species, L. plinthochroa and L. variegata, are reported from China for the first time. All adults and their genital structures are illustrated. A key to the Chinese species is provided.
