Abstract
The following four new species of the subgenus Sinoropeza Alexander from China are described: Dolichopeza (Sinoro-peza) apicalis sp. nov., D. (S.) hamulifera sp. nov., D. (S.) cuspidigera sp. nov. and D. (S.) furcellatusa sp. nov. A key to the world species of the subgenus Sinoropeza is presented. Sinoropeza was proposed by Alexander (1935) as a subgenus of the genus Dolichopeza. It is a small subgenus and can be characterized by the following features: rostrum short, without nasus; wing with Sc entering Rt near fork of Rs, Rs short, R1+2 short spur-like or absent entirely (only entirely preserved in Dolichopeza {Sinoropeza) fasciven-tris Alexander, 1973), discal cell absent, M3 arising from M2, distal wing cells usually with macrotrichia (but lacking in D. (S.) postica Brunetti, 1912) (Alexander 1935). It is distributed in the Eastpalaearctic and Oriental (India and China) with five known species (Oosterbroek 2011). Three species are known to occur in China (Oosterbroek 2011).
