Abstract
Seven species of the genus Eversmannia Staudinger, 1871 are recognized from China. Among them, three species are described as new species: E. atromarginata sp. nov., E. spiralis sp. nov., and E. zhangorum sp. nov. New combinations are proposed for three species: E. bicaudata (Moore, [1868]) comb. nov., E. himala (Butler, 1880), comb. nov., and E. fuscifrons (Warren, 1896), comb. nov. Eversmannia bicaudata and E. fuscifrons are reported for the first time from China. Adults and genitalia are illustrated, and a key for identifying Chinese Eversmannia species is provided.
