Discussion. The members of the genus
Lista
have colorful unique scales on both pair wings among the subfamily of Epipaschiinae. This was recognized as a key synapomorphy to the group (
Wang
et al.
, 2017
). This genus was understudied before our taxonomic review (
Wang
et al.
, 2017
), and only 8 species are recognized worldwide. To date, we already reported 7 new species and 3 newly record species to
China
. Thus, totally 15 species were reported under the genus
Lista
worldwide, of which 13 species are from
China
. Thus, to improve the classification of species included in
Lista
, two new and a new record species are reported from
China
in time. This is a supplemental study for our former work (
Wang
et al.
, 2017
). In addition, we can deduce that there are more unknown species of genus
Lista
to describe in the future.
