The genus Hyloconis included four species when it was erected by Kumata in 1963 based on Japanese specimens. Noreika (1994) subsequently transferred Lithocolletis improvisella Ermolaev, 1986 to Hyloconis. Since then no further study has been carried out on this genus in the world. In the present paper, we record this genus in China for the first time and describe two new species, with amendment of generic characters based on the study of the Chinese material. Type specimens are deposited in the Insect Collection, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University (NKUM), Tianjin, and the Zoological Museum, Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Changzhi College (ZMCZC), Changzhi, Shanxi, China.
