Abstract: The genus Pseudohedya is reviewed from China. Two new species, i.e., Pseudohedyafanjingica sp. nov. from Mt. Fanjing, Guizhou Province and P. liui sp. nov. from Mt. Wangwu, Henan Province, China, are described. One species, Pseudohedya retractaFalkovitch, is recorded for the first time from this country. The diagnostic characters of the two previously known species in China, P. gradanaChristoph and P. cincinna Falkovitch, are discussed. The genus previously known only in the Palaearctic region is recorded for the first time from the Oriental Region (Guangdong, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hubei, China). A key to all the known species of the genus is given based on the male genitalia. Photos of adults and genitalia are provided.
