Abstract

Three new species of the genus Fignya Solovyev & Witt, 2009, F. qianasp. nov., F. trigonumsp. nov., and F. samkosasp. nov., are described from China and Cambodia. Additionally, a new combination, F. brachygnatha (Wu & Fang, 2008), comb. nov., is proposed. The new species are illustrated with images of the adults and male genitalia, and compared with similar species. A key to all known species in the genus, along with their geographical distributions, is provided.
