The genus Mecopoda Serville includes eight species, which are mostly distributed in the Oriental region and a few areas in the Palearctic and Australian region. Five species have been recorded in China. Here based on the acoustical and morphological data, we provide a review on the genus Mecopoda in China. We divide the genus Mecopoda into three species groups according to their acoustical characteristics. Six new species and one new subspecies are discovered to be new to science, that it is, M. crescendo sp. nov., M. himalaya sp. nov., M. tibetensis sp. nov., M. confracta sp. nov., M. synconfracta sp. nov., M. minor sp. nov., and M. m. yunnana subsp. nov.. The male of M. marmorata He is also firstly reported with necessary description. Now the number of the genus Mecopoda is 11 in China and 14 in the world. Necessary description and pictures map are presented.
硕螽属（Mecopoda Serville）包含8个物种，主要分布于东洋区，在古北区和澳洲区也有少数分布。中国已记录5种。在此，基于声学和形态学数据，我们对中国的硕螽属进行综述。根据声学特征，我们将硕螽属分为三个物种组。发现6个新物种和1个新亚种为科学新发现，即渐强硕螽（M. crescendo sp. nov.）、喜马拉雅硕螽（M. himalaya sp. nov.）、西藏硕螽（M. tibetensis sp. nov.）、断裂硕螽（M. confracta sp. nov.）、联合断裂硕螽（M. synconfracta sp. nov.）、微小硕螽（M. minor sp. nov.）以及云南硕螽（M. m. yunnana subsp. nov.）。首次对大理石纹硕螽（M. marmorata He）的雄性个体进行了必要描述。目前，硕螽属在中国有11种，在世界上有14种。文中给出了必要描述及图片。
