The taxonomy of the Chinese species of the genus Indomyrlaea Roesler & Küppers, 1979 is revised. Five new species, namely I. bannensis Ren & Li sp. nov., I. fastigipalpa Ren & Li sp. nov., I. nigra Ren & Li sp. nov., I. proceripalpa Ren & Li sp. nov., and I. sinuapalpa Ren & Li sp. nov., are described. The following taxonomic changes are proposed: Sandrabatis Ragonot, 1893 and its type species Sandrabatis crassiella Ragonot, 1893 are synonymized with Ceroprepes Zeller, 1867 and Ceroprepes ophthalmicella (Christoph, 1881), respectively; Indomyrlaea phaeella (Hampson, 1903) comb. nov. is transferred from Sandrabatis. The original combination Nephopterix eugraphella Ragonot, 1888 is resurrected from its previous affiliation with Indomyrlaea. A checklist and a key to all the known species of the world are included.
对1979年罗伊斯勒和屈佩斯建立的印度蚁蛉属（Indomyrlaea）中国物种的分类进行了修订。描述了五个新物种，即班纳印度蚁蛉（Indomyrlaea bannensis Ren & Li sp. nov.）、尖顶印度蚁蛉（Indomyrlaea fastigipalpa Ren & Li sp. nov.）、黑色印度蚁蛉（Indomyrlaea nigra Ren & Li sp. nov.）、长须印度蚁蛉（Indomyrlaea proceripalpa Ren & Li sp. nov.）和波曲印度蚁蛉（Indomyrlaea sinuapalpa Ren & Li sp. nov.）。提出了以下分类学变动：1893年拉戈诺特建立的桑德拉蚁蛉属（Sandrabatis）及其模式种1893年的厚缘桑德拉蚁蛉（Sandrabatis crassiella Ragonot）分别与1867年的蜡蚁蛉属（Ceroprepes）和1881年的眼斑蜡蚁蛉（Ceroprepes ophthalmicella (Christoph)）同义；将1903年汉普森建立的暗褐印度蚁蛉（Indomyrlaea phaeella (Hampson) comb. nov.）从桑德拉蚁蛉属转移过来。恢复了1888年拉戈诺特建立的原组合优图纹翅蛾（Nephopterix eugraphella Ragonot），它之前隶属于印度蚁蛉属。文中还包含了世界所有已知物种的名录和检索表。
