Abstract
We describe three newly discovered species of the genus Stigmatophora Staudinger, 1881 from China, (S.bucsekisp. nov., S.longasp. nov., and S.dianensissp. nov.) and establish a new subgenus Bifurcistigmasubgen. nov. for the first two. Detailed descriptions of the external morphology and male and female genitalia of the new species are provided, along with those of S.obraztsovi Daniel, 1951, which is also assigned to the new subgenus. A checklist of all species of Stigmatophora is presented including the distribution, type locality, and synonymy of each.
