Abstract

The generic diagnosis of Brachineura is revised to give an accurate and adequate redescription by adding detailed characters. First records of Brachineura in China, including three new species, namely B. sphaerica Jiao & Bu, sp. nov., B. physiphora Jiao & Bu, sp. nov. and B. prodolichata Jiao & Bu, sp. nov., are described and illustrated. The type specimens were deposited in the Institute of Entomology, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin, China (NKUM).
