Notes on the Subgenus Polypedilum (Uresipedilum) Oyewo & Sæther (Diptera: Chironomidae) in Zhejiang Province, China

Polypedilum (Uresipedilum) bingoparadoxum Kawai, Inoue & Imabayashi, 1998 is recorded for the first time in China. This species is redescribed and illustrated as its male imago. The other four species in the subgenus Uresipedilum, P. (U.) convictum (Walker), P. (U.) cultellatum Goetghebuer, P. (U.) lateralum Zhang & Wang, and P. (U.) surugense Niitsuma are newly recorded in Zhejiang Province, China. A key to male species of the subgenus Uresipedilum in Zhejiang Province is presented.
