The genus Pullimosina Rohacek is revised to have four species in China, includ- ing a new species, Pullimosina (Dahlimosina) quadripulata sp. n. For Pulli— mosina (Pullimosina) heteroneura (Haliday) a new record for Continental China is reported. All males ofthe four species and the female ofthe new species are described and illustrated.
