Description. See Wang et al. (2017).
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.
