Abstract
The taxonomic history of the genus Siobla Cameron, 1877 is outlined, and the genus is redescribed. Nine species groups are recognized. Keys for separation of the species groups and the species of the annulicornis group and acutiscutella group are provided. Siobla annulicornis sp. nov., S. leucocincta sp. nov., S. weni sp. nov. and S. acutiserrula sp. nov., all from China, are described. The previously described species, Siobla acutiscutella Wei & Nie, 1999, S. zhangi Wei, 2005 and S. sheni Wei, 2002 are illustrated. Siobla nanlingia Wei, 2005 is a new synonym of S. zhangi Wei, 2005.References
