Abstract
The genus Sarbanissa Walker in China is reviewed. A new species, S. pseudassimilis sp. nov., from Yunnan is described. This new species is diagnosed from S. assimilis Orhant. Moreover, here S. speciose Orhant is synonymized with S. transiens (Walker). A key to Chinese species and a checklist of Sarbanissa species of the world is provided.
