Abstract
During our study of the genus Ziminellia (Diptera, Muscidae) from China, two species are recognized as new to science, Z. quadrangula Xue & Nihei, sp. nov. and Z. yunnanensis Xue & Zhang, sp. nov., and their descriptions, illustration and diagnoses are given. Furthermore, five new combinations are proposed from Morellia Robineau-Desvoidy to Ziminellia Nihei & de Carvalho: Z. sordidisquama (Stein, 1918), Z. nigrisquama (Malloch, 1928), Z. sinensis (uchi, 1942), Z. hainanensis (Ni, 1982), and Z. suifenhensis (Ni, 1982). And a key to species of Ziminellia is provided.
