Abstract

The eight species in five genera belonging to the tribe Serrolecaniini recorded from China are discussed, including a newspecies Serrolecanium ferrisi Wu & Lu (previously misidentified as S. tobai (Kuwana) or S. indocalamus Wu) and a newcountry record for Serrolecanium kawaii Hendricks & Kosztarab. A key to species belonging to the tribe Serrolecaniini now known from China is included and illustrations are provided to the adult female of all species found in China.
