Taiwanocantharis thibetanomima (Wittmer, 1997) is redefined and its type series is clarified. Three new species are described and illustrated, T. wittmeri sp. n. (CHINA: Yunnan), T. adentata sp. n. (CHINA: Gansu, Sichuan) and T. parasatoi sp. n. (CHINA: Guangxi). T. gansosichuana (Kazantsev, 2010) is synonymized with T. drahuska (Švihla, 2004). T. dedicata (Švihla, 2005) and T. malaisei (Wittmer, 1989) are recorded to China for the first time. A key to the species of the Taiwanocantharis thibetana species-group is provided.
