Fifteen species of the genus Elophila Hubner are recognised from China, including two new species described herein, namely E. radiospinula and E. nuda. The species E. melagynalis (Agassiz, 1978) from Fujian Province was a misidentification of Thysanoidma octalis Hampson, 1891 and its record in China is abolished. The species E. manilensis (Hampson, 1917), E. orientalis (Filipjev, 1933) and E. miurai Yoshiyasu, 1985 are reported for the first time in China. Descriptions of the genus and subgenera and a key to the Chinese species of Elophila are provided. The adults and the genital structures of all examined species are illustrated.

Eleven species of the genus Eristena Warren, 1896 are recognised from China, including the four new species described herein, namely E. curvula, E. longibursa, E. tridentata and E. brevisigna. E. szechuanalis (Caradja, 1934) is raised to species level from E. bifurcalis szechuanalis. E. tanongchiti Yoshiyasu, 1984 is reported for the first time in China. Based on the differences in the hind wing venation and in the genital structures, the Chinese species are divided into two groups, the bifurcalis-group and the fulva-group. A key to the Chinese species of Eristena is provided. The adults of the new species and the genital structures of all examined species are illustrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
