Summary:Five new species of the genus Hermonassa Walker, 1865 ( H. nigricans sp. nov. , H. conusa sp. nov. , H. brunneocuprina sp. nov. , H. albimacula sp. nov. , and H. linzhiensis , sp. nov. are described from Autonomic Region Xizang, China (Tibet). Hermonassa nigricans sp. nov. is distributed in Nepal and China, and the Himalayan species H. kalamantra Kovács, G. Ronkay & L. Ronkay, 2018 is reсorded for China for the first time. The occurrences of H. anthracina Boursin, 1967 in Nepal is questionable taking in the account the presence of two externally hardly distinguishable species, H. kalamantra and H. nigricans sp. nov. New collecting data for H. yixincheni Han & Li, 2007 and H. oleographa Hampson, 1911 in China are presented. Five species groups are reviewed, and three species groups are designated.
