The genus Wiedemannia Zetterstedt is recorded from China for the first time. One species is described from South Tibet: Wiedemannia tibetensis sp. nov. This new species can be separated from the related species Wiedemannia glaucescens (Brunetti) by presence of the pterostigma, discal cell apically with a short appendage, surstylus nearly strip-like and hidden below dorsal portion of epandrium, and distiphallus not swollen without spines at middle. A key to the species of the genus Wiedemannia from the Oriental Region is presented.
