The 14 species of Terrilimosina Roháček now known from China are reviewed and keyed, including three new species (T. bicrurissp. nov., T. dentatasp. nov., and T. digitatasp. nov.), three newly recorded species (T. deemingi Marshall, 1987, T. longipexa Marshall, 1987, and T. unio Marshall, 1987), and one subspecies (T. maoershanensis Su, 2011) is elevated to species rank. Chinese distribution records are updated, and figures and illustrations are provided for the 14 species of Terrilimosina recorded from China.
