Abstract

Five species of the genus Tylostega Meyrick are recorded from China. Among them, T. pectinata sp. nov., T. luniformis sp. nov., T. lata sp. nov. and T. serrata sp. nov. are described as new, and T. tylostegalis (Hampson) is redescribed. Images of adults, genitalia of the five species are provided, along with a key to their identification.
