Four new species of the genus Neoempheria Osten Sacken from China are described.Type specimens are depoited in the Insect collections of Beijing Agricultural University. 1. Neoempheria magna sp. nov. (fig. 1) Distance between two tergal lateral appendages Iarge, with a bunch of dark short stoutsetae apically; sternal lateral appendages broad and short, very different from other species ofthe genus. Holotype , allotype , Dayanwu (31. 4°N, 110. 3°E), Shennongjia, Hubei, June 29,1984, by Yang Chi--kun; paratype 1 , Liupan Mountains, 2300m (35. 7°N, 106. 2°E),Ningxia, July 14, 1980, by Yang Chi-kun. 2. Neoempheria sinica sp. nov. (fig. 2) Closely allied to N. proxima (Winnertz) and N tianmuana Wu et Yang, but the sternallateral appendage curved drastically at middle, swelled apically, with long setae. Holotype , Jingxiu, 720m (24. 1°N, 110. 2°E), June 9, 1982, by Yang Chi--kun; allotype, Malianwa (40. 0°N, 116. 3°E), Beijing, Aug. 1986, by Zhang Xue--min; paratypes 2, the same as allotype; 1, Mt. Jinshan (40. 0°N, 116. 3°E), Beijing, Aug. 15, 1972,by Ynag Chi--kun; 1, Dagong (40. 0°N, 116. 3°E), Beijing, Aug. 12, 1959, by Li Fa--sheng;1, Yanshi, 700m (40. 0°N, 117. 5°E), Xinglong, Hebei, Aug. 29, 1973, by Yang Chi-kun; 1, Mt. Guangdis, 1700--2400m (37. 7°N, 111. 5°E), Wenshui, Shanxi, Aug. 3, 1981,by Yang Chi--kun; 1, Mt. Fanjing (27. 8°N, 108. 7°E), Jiangkuo, Guizhou,?. 1982. byYang Chen--jin. 3. Neoempheria beijingana sp. nov. (fig. 3) The new species with tergal lateral appendage and sternal lateral appendage slender andbare, unique among the genus. Holotype , Mt. Jinshan (40. 0°N, 116. 3°E), Beijing, Aug. 15, 1972, by Yang Chi-kun. 4. Neoempheria jilinana sp. nov. (fig. 4) Tergal lateral appendage rounded apically, with long setae at apical half; sternal lateralappendage with long setae at apical half too. These characters are different from those of N.beijingana sp. nov. Holotype , Laoling, 1000m (41. 9°N, 126. 5°E), Hunjiang, Jilin, Aug. 3, 1983, byYang Chi--kun.
