The genus Stereodytis has been known as a monotypy since it was erected by Meyrick (1914) based on specimens collected in Sri Lanka. It is characterized by the dark coloured body, the more or less beaklike gnathos with teeth along dorsal margin basally and the large thornlike cornutus in the male genitalia. In this paper, we present three species from China based on specimens collected from Gansu, Guizhou, Anhui, Hunan and Hong Kong, including two new species and a new combination. A discussion is provided for the taxonomic placement of S. increta (Meyrick).
