Two new species of Timandra Duponchel,1829 from China are described:T.orhanti sp.nov.and T.majuscula sp.nov.Diagnoses for these new species are provided,with illustrations of external features and genitalia.

The two taxa should be raised to specific status: O. szechuana Wehrli, 1939 stat. nov. and O. amphidoxa Wehrli, 1939 stat. nov. This will result in two subspecies within O. ebuleata: O. ebuleata ebuleata Guenée, 1858 and O. ebuleata deliquescens Inoue, 1995. In this paper, we compare the diagnostic characteristics of O. ebuleata ebuleata, O. ebuleata deliquescens, O. szechuana and O. amphidoxa, and provide photos of the adults and genitalia.展开更多
