Description. Tinkham (1945); Liu & Kang (2007b).

Sinochlora is widespread distributed in south China, except that type species S. longifissa Matsumura and Shiraki is also distributed in Korea and Japan.

Sinochlora was established for five species from China including type species S. kwangtungensis Tinkham , by Tinkham (1945). Subsequently, some authors ( Shi & Zheng 1996, Shi & Chang 2004) described several new species from China; and others ( Kang 1987, Jin 1999) gave synonymies. Recently Liu and Kang (2007) gave a complete revision about Sinochlora including systematics, phylogeny, biology and biogeography, together with new findings of six new species and the previously undescribed male of some species, detailed descriptions and illustrations of structure of male epiproct and male stridulatory file of all thirteen species.

In this paper, we describe one new species from Maoershan mountain in southwestern China.
