(Figs.9-17) This species externally resemblesFistulatus sinensis Zhanget Zhang,but both of them are easily separable each other by the characters of male genitalia,namely in the former,the aedeagus has two pairs of denticale on apical part,the plates are slender,the apical parts of pygofer sides taper spine-like.Length:♂5.5-6.2*!mm,♀6.1-7.0*!mm;incl.tegm.:♂6.8-7.2*!mm,♀8.0-8.2*!mm.Holotype ♂,Mt.Tianmu,Zhejiang Province 1*!500*!m,18 Aug.1999,light trap,coll.CAI Ping.Paratypes 8 ♂♂ and 22 ♀♀,same as holotype;6♂♂ and 16♀♀,same as the former,19 Aug.1999;3♂♂ and 3♀♀,same locality and collector as holotype,1*!560*!m,25 July 1998.3 Fistulatus luteolus sp. nov. (Figs.18-25) This species closely resembles toFistulatus bidentatus sp.nov.andFistulatus sinensis Zhanget Zhang,but differs in the yellowish veins of forewings and the absence of aedeague precess.Length:♂4.2-5.2*!mm,♀6.2-6.7*!mm;incl.tegm.:♂6.6-7.0*!mm,♀8.0-8.4*!mm.Holotype ♂,Mt.Tianmu,Zhejiang Province 1*!100*!m,27 July 1998,coll.CAI Ping.Paratypes 2♀♀,same as holotype;1♂,same as the former,1*!500*!m,18 Aug.1999;1♂ same locality as holotype,800*!m, 19 Aug.1999,light trap,coll.BU Wen-Jun;1♂,Mt.Baotianman,Henan,1*!200*!m,24 July 1999,coll.CAI Ping.4 Drabescoides undomarginata sp. nov. (Figs.26-33) This species is very similar toDrabescoides nuchali(Jacobi),but different from the latter by the aedeagus with processes on back,the hind margin of female abdominal sternum Ⅶ W-shaped and the lora partly or wholly brown.Length:♂5.0-6.0*!mm,♀5.5-6.8*!mm;incl.tegm.:♂6.5-7.5*!mm,♀8.0-8.1*!mm.Holotype ♂,Mt.Tianmu,Zhejiang Province 20 July 1998,light trap,coll.ZHAO Ming-Shui.Paratypes 1♂,same as holotype,4 Aug.1998;1♀,18 Aug.1998;1♂ and 2♀♀,26 Sept.1998;1♀,29 Sept.1998.
