Eight species of the genus Epidiplosis Felt are reported, seven from China and one from Russian Far East. Two species from China, E. indica Grover & Chandra and E. reflexa Mamaev, and one from the Russian Far East, E. filifera (Nijveldt), are newly recorded. Four species are described as new to science: E. bicornuta sp. nov., E. campanulata sp. nov., E. lari sp. nov. and E. tuberoforcipata sp. nov. The genus is redescribed. A key to the species is given and all the species are illustrated.
