Abstract
Five species of genus Strongylovelia Esaki are now known from China. Of these, S. formosa Esaki, 1924 is the only member of the genus previously recorded from China and S. paitooni Chen, Nieser & Sangpradub, 2006 is newly recorded from China. In addition, three species, S. balteiformis sp. n., S. fasciaria sp. n. and S. hainanensis sp. n. are described as new to science. Photographs of the female and male dorsal habitus, male abdominal segment VIII, and male genitalic structures are provided, accompanied by line drawings of the female body in lateral view, views perpendicular to the distal part of the male paramere, and a distribution map for all Chinese Strongylovelia species. A key to the all five Chinese Strongylovelia species is also provided to assist in future identification.
