Spilonota sp. injurious to pear is described from China for many years but without a species name. Through detailed identification, we come to the conclusion that it is a sibling species of Spilonota albicana Motschulsky. In this paper, it is named Spilonota pyrusicola sp. nov. and described with illustrations of adults, genitalia and immature stages, and the biological notes are also given.
