Abstract

The following six new species of the genus Nepalomyia are described and illustrated: Nepalomyia fogangensis sp. nov., N. guangdongensis sp. nov., N. hastata sp. nov., N. jinshanensis sp. nov., N. xui sp. nov., and N. zhangae sp. nov. N. xui sp. nov. belongs to the trifurcata group, N. guangdongensis sp. nov., N. hastata sp. nov. N. jinshanensis sp. nov., and N. zhangae sp. nov. belong to the henanensis group; but the remaining species cannot be placed into any known species group. Keys for Chinese species of trifurcata group and henanensis group are presented.
