Epipaschiinae, a subfamily of Pyralidae, has characteristic features distinct from other groups of Pyralidae, such as the thick scales and labial palpi usually upturned. This subfamily is a relative smaller group in Pyralidae, and currently reports over 700 species worldwide (Solis, 1992, 1994; Nuss et al., 2021). Solis (1992) listed 287 known epipaschiine species all over the world, including 273 species from Old World. In China, the first checklist of Epipaschiinae was systematically summarized by Lu and Guan (1953), including 8 genera and 53 species. Recently, the subfamily of China was revised, and tens of species from several genera were reported, such as Lista, Coenodomus, Epilepia, Teliphasa, Termioptycha (Liu et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2017a, b; Rong et al., 2017a, b). These studies contributed about 30 additional species from China besides Lu and Guan (1953). Here, we present a list of all descripted species of Epipaschiinae in China, including 17 genera and 85 species, with their geographical distribution. Among them, Orthaga aenescens is firstly recorded in China. The genera and species are alphabetically listed here.
