Abstract: Three new species of the genus Sinopodisma Chang, 1940 from Taiwan, China are described in this paper. The new species Sinopodisma huangi sp. nov. is similar to Sinopodisma shirakii (Tinkham, 1936), but differs from the latter by the postocular black band with oblong tape in pronotum and body larger, ♂21.3-21.6 mm, ♀ 29.3 mm. The new species Sinopodisma xui sp. nov. is allied to Sinopodisma huangi sp. nov., but differs from the latter by pronotum without black longitudinal stripe along median keel, hind margin of pronotum with hollow slightly in the middle, black postocular band with twill tape in pronotum and length of interspace of mesosternum equal to the narrowest. The new species Sinopodisma yangi sp. nov. is allied to Sinopodisma formosana  (Shirakii, 1910), but differs from the latter by body slender, postocular band black with oblong tape in pronotum, backward extending to the end of abdomen and length of interspace of mesosternum 1.2 times the narrowest. A key to eight species of the genus from Taiwan is given. Type specimens are deposited in the National Museum of Natural Science, Taichung, Taiwan, China and the Institute of Entomology, Taiwan University, Taibei, Taiwan, China, respectively. 
