Abstract

The following three new species of the genus Neurigona are described and illustrated: Neurigona hainana sp. nov. from Hainan province, N. sichuana sp. nov. from Sichuan province and N. yaoi sp. nov. from Neimenggu province. Neurigona zhangae Wang, Yang & Grootaert is transferred as Viridigona zhangae (Wang, Yang & Grootaert) comb. nov. An updated key to 25 known species of Neurigona from the Chinese mainland is presented.
