Abstract

The genus Jankowskia Oberthür, 1884 is reviewed and four new species are described: J. curva sp. nov., J. acuta sp. nov., J. improjecta sp. nov., and J. obtusangula sp. nov. J. bituminaria raddensis (Wehrli, 1941) is recorded for the first time from China. A key to all species of the genus is provided. The diagnoses for all species are given. Illustrations of adults and genitalia are presented.
