Introduction

 The subfamily Pyralinae comprises more than 900 species in the world and is mainly distributed in tropical regions and Indo-Australian. The larvae of Pyralinae have been known as notorious pests, feeding on stored products, plants, and even dead vegetation (Munroe and Solis, 1999).

 The subfamily Pyralinae can be identified by the following characteristics: head rounded, ocelli absent or present; chaetosema present; proboscis developed, labial palpus porrect or ascending, maxillary palpus usually small; forewing usually colorful, with R5 stalked with R4 and R3, hindwing Sc+R1 approximate with Rs; male genitalia with uncus wide and strong; gnathos well developed, usually slim, sharped or hooked at tip, valva simple, hairy, tegumen sclerotized, vinculum well-developed, aedeagus cylindrical, cornuti present or absent, female genitalia with slim apophyses anteriores and apophyses posteriores, corpus bursae oval, signa present or absent.

 In China, about 32 genera and 150 species have been reported to date (Li et al., 2009). For the genus Synaphe, which is mainly distributed in Europe, 21 species have been reported from Europe (Leraut, 2005; Slamka, 2006, 2010) and in immediate neighboring areas of China, 5 species are reported from Russian Far East (Martin, 1986; Kirpichnikova, 1999, 2009), but only 2 species of the genus Synaphe have been reported from the rest of China, for the genus Hypsopygia, 28 species have been reported from China, 5 from Russian Far East, 13 from Japan, and 8 from South Korea (Wang, 1980; Inoue, 1982; Xu, 1997; Hua, 2005; Bae et al., 2008; Li et al., 2009; Kirpichnikova, 2009).

 In the present study, two species of Pyralinae, Hypsopygia iwamotoi Kirpichnikova & Yamanaka, 1995, and Synaphe amuralis (Hampson, 1900), are recorded from China for the first time. The morphology of adults and genitalia are redescribed and illustrated, the specimens examined are deposited in Northeast Forestry University (NEFU), Harbin, Heilongjiang, China.

 Abbreviations used in this study are as follows: TS- type species, TL- type locality.

 Material examined. 1♂, China: Province Liaoning, Jianchang county, Bailangshan Mt., 19-23. V. 2009 (Qi M. J. and Hu Y. Q.), Slide No. NEFU-010.

 Remarks. This species was first described by Hampson (1900) as Cledeobia amuralis from the upper Amur, which belongs to Far East of Russia. It never has been collected from China, and this is the first time reporting this species from China. It is similar to S. bombycalis, but it can be distinguished by the following characters: the antemedial line of forewing without sharp convexed outwardly, and hindwing dark brown, only postmedial line white; in S. bombycalis the antemedial line formed sharply convex under the discoidal cell, and the distal discoidal stigma concave inwardly, and with white spots on both sides, and hindwing yellow inside the postmedial line.
