The genus Corynoneura Winnertz, 1846 from Hunan Province in Oriental China is reviewed. Four new species, C. enormis Fu sp. nov., C. gibbera Fu sp. nov., C. incuria Fu sp. nov., and C. longshanensis Fu sp. nov. are described and illustrated based on adult males. Sequence data from the 16S rDNA gene were used to infer relationships between these species and complement morphological delineation. Sequences from the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (16S rDNA) from these species are uploaded to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Relationships were inferred using the Neighbor-Joining method based on 16S rDNA.
