Twenty eight species of Atrichopogon are described as new: Atrichopogon (Atrichopogon) brevicercus Yan and Yu, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Atrichopogon) guttatus Yan and Yu, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Atrichopogon) longitergitus Yan and Yu, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Atrichopogon) costatus Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Atrichopogon) pileolus Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Atrichopogon) ollicula Yan and Yu, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Atrichopogon) spartos Yan and Yu, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Impensukempia) impensus Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) binipenis Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) scutatis Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) varius Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) brevipenis Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) catinus Yan and Yu, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) chuanxinensis Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) cristatus Hao and Yu, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) dehiscentis Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) jianfengensis Liu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) ludingensis Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) montigenum Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Dempia) rivalis Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Kempia) zhangmuensis Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Psilokempia) bidaculus Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Psilokempia) capistratus Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Psilokempia) nielamuensis Yu and Liu, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Psilokempia) pterygospinous Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Psilokempia) subtenuiatus Yu and Yan, sp.nov., Atrichopogon (Lophomyidium) yongxinensis Yan and Yu, sp.nov.
