Seven new species are described from China, increasing the total number of Timandra species to 28: T. distorta sp. n., T. adunca sp. n., T. quadrata sp. n., T. accumulata sp. n., T. viminea sp. n., T. ro- busta sp. n. and T. stueningi sp. n. Diagnoses for all 19 Chinese species are provided, with illustrations of external features and genitalia. Keywords Morphology, Sterrhinae, taxonomy, Timandrini Introduction The genusTimandra was originally established by Duponchel (1829) based on Timan- dra griseata Petersen, 1902, and he cited this species as amataria Linnaeus, 1761 due to a misidentification (Fletcher 1979).Timandra is the type genus of the tribe Timandrini.
