Abstract
BACKGROUND: Twenty-eight Libnotes Westwood, 1876 species belonging to three subgenera have been known to occur in China, of which 13 belong to the nominotypical subgenus. Amongst the 13 Chinese Libnotes (s. str.) species, eight are from the Chinese mainland and five are from Taiwan. NEW INFORMATION: A Libnotes (s. str.) species from Jilin, China, L. (L.) changbaishana sp. nov. is described and illustrated as new to science. The genus Libnotes is recorded from Jilin Province for the first time. The new species can be distinguished from congeners mainly by its body colour, wing and male genitalia.
