摘要

During 2021–2024 the authors collected caddisflies in two nature reserves of Jiangxi Province, P.R. China. As a result, two new species of the family Philopotamidae, genus Chimarra, Chimarra pentaclada sp. n., and Chimarra polyacantha sp. n., are described and illustrated. Moreover, Chimarra bimbltona Malicky, 1979, is redescribed and reported as a new Chinese record. The two new species are placed into the Chimarra tsudai Species Group based on their morphological characters. Mitochondrial COI gene sequences were obtained from the two new species for further research.
