Abstract

Fifteen species of Psyllaephagus from China are studied. Three species, P. clavus Zou & Zhang, sp. nov., P. obliquus Zou & Zhang, sp. nov., and P. tangae Zou & Zhang, sp. nov., are described as new to science. A diagnosis or a description/redescription, figures of the characters, as well as the known distribution and hosts of each species are provided. A dichotomous key is also given to facilitate the identification of species.
