Among them, five species are described as new to science, namely, Lista angustusa sp. n., Lista gilvasa sp. n., Lista longifundamena sp. n., Lista menghaiensis sp. n., and Lista sichuanensis sp. n. Diagnoses are provided for the genus and five previously described species, Lista haraldusalis (Walker, 1859), Lista insulsalis (Lederer, 1863), Lista ficki (Christoph, 1881), Lista plinthochroa (West, 1931), and Lista variegata (Moore, 1888), that occur in China. Two species, Lista plinthochroa and Lista variegata, are reported from China for the first time. All adults and their genital structures are illustrated. A key to the Chinese species is provided.
