Abstract
The genus Chlorops Meigen is recorded from Palaearctic China. The following five species are described as new to science: Chlorops flavipalpus sp. nov., C. gansuensis sp. nov., C. liupanshanus sp. nov., C. trisetifer sp. nov., and C. xinjiangensis sp. nov. One species, C. rufinus Zetterstedt, is newly recorded from China. A key to the species of the genus from Palaearctic China is presented.References
