Abstract

The knowledge of the genus Ovipennis Hampson, 1900 is updated. Nanarsine milani (Černý, 2009) is recorded from China and Vietnam for the first time and transferred to the genus Ovipennis based on multilocus molecular phylogenetic and morphological analyses: O. milani (Černý, 2009), comb. n. Two new species related to Ovipennis semilutea species-group are described: O. mixta Huang, Zhao, Volynkin & Han, sp. n. from Guizhou and Hunan and O. multicornuta Huang, Volynkin, Zhao & Han, sp. n. from Sichuan. Adults and genitalia of the aforementioned taxa are illustrated.
