Abstract
This paper includes a key to the Palaearctic species groups of Botanophila, characteristics of each species group (key and characteristics compiled by Michael Ackland), and keys to the species of Botanophila from China. This paper also provides the characters of the genus Botanophila and describes three new species, namely B. densispinula sp. nov., B. platysurstyla sp. nov. and B. subspinulibasis sp. nov.; Botanophila nigrifrontata (Fan & Zheng) is synonymized with B. melametopa (Fan); and B. zhuoniensis (Jin) and B. nigribella (Deng) are redescribed. The type specimens of the new species are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Shenyang Normal University.References
