Elaphriini is a small tribe of the subfamily Noctuinae with predominantly New World distribution. Only three genera, Elaphria Hubner, 1818 with four species, Galgula Guenee, 1852 with one species (Fibiger & Hacker 2010) and Strotihypera Kononenko & Han, 2011 with one species are known from the Eurasia. The majority of species occurs in tropical and subtropical regions. The review of Eurasian Elaphriini with description of the new genus Strotihypera has recently been published by Kononenko & Han (2011). In the subsequent years in the result of intensive collecting in South West China we found a new species allied to Strotihypera flavipuncta (Leech, 1889) and two related species Strotihypera ochreipuncta (Wileman, 1914), comb. n. and "Hyperstrotia" macroplaga (Hampson, 1907), comb. n. The description of a new species and the review of two of its allies are presented here as a postscript to the description of the genus Strotihypera (Kononenko & Han 2011).
The article is based on the institutional collections of North East Forestry University (NEFE, Harbin). The holotype of the new species is deposited the North East Forestry University, Harbin. The field and museum works for the taxonomic revision of Chinese Noctuidae fauna have been supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 31272355), and the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (No. 2572014DA02).
