The taxonomy of the genus Ctenosciara Tuomikoski in China was studied. Six species were recognized, including three new species that are described and illustrated: Ctenosciara mutisetosa Wu & Zhang sp. nov., Ctenosciara pseudoinsolitaWu & Zhang sp. nov., and Ctenosciara xijingensis Wu & Zhang sp. nov. Additionally, Ctenosciara japonica Sutou & Ito, 2003 and Ctenosciara rufulenta (Edwards, 1927) are reported for the first time from China. A key to the Chinese species is also provided.
