Scythris bicruris sp. nov. is described as new, and Scythris dahurica Sinev is newly recorded for this country. Both male and female images of the new species, the illustration of the genital structures and the male sternum VIII of the three species are provided. A key to separate the known species of the sinensis group is included.
