Abstract

The genus Locastra Walker, 1859 from China is reviewed. Of the five species treated, four species are described as new: L. nigrilineata sp. n., L. solivaga sp. n., L. subtrapezia sp. n. and L. viridis sp. n. A diagnosis of L. muscosalis (Walker, 1866) is given. Photographs of adults and the genitalia are provided, along with a key to the five Chinese species treated.
