A new genus and four new Phyllocoptinae species are described and illustrated from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. They are: Asetiabacarus n. gen. and Asetiabacarus maesae n. sp. (infesting Maesa japonica (Thunb.) Moritzi and Zll.), Abacarus virosae n. sp. (infesting Fluggea virosa (Roxb. ex Willd.) Baill.), Tetra sinicae n. sp. (infesting Coriaria sinica Maxim.), and Leipothrix guangxiensis n. sp. (infesting Alocasia macrorrhiza (L.) Schott).
