The genus Scoparia from the Hailuogou Glacier area in the south-eastern fringe of the Tibetan Plateau of south-western China is studied, nine species are revealed by combining DNA barcoding (658 bp of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, COI) and morphology. Studies show that Scoparia species from the Hailuogou Glacier area are 37.5% as many as all the previously known congeners in China. Six species are described as new to science: Scoparia simplicissima Li sp. nov., Scoparia tribulosa Li sp. nov., Scoparia longispina Li sp. nov., Scoparia gibbosa Li sp. nov., Scoparia globosa Li sp. nov., and Scoparia annulata Li sp. nov. The female of Scoparia metaleucalis is described for the first time herein. All species are either diagnosed or described and illustrated, and a map of China showing the topography and localities where Scoparia species are recorded is also provided, including the species number of all the recorded localities. All the studied specimens are deposited in the Insect Museum, Jiangxi Agricultural University, Nanchang, China. © 2014 The Linnean Society of London
