Notes.

The gender of the genus name, Oreocharis , is feminine, but the suffix of the scientific name, "- us," is typically masculine. For Oreocharis tetrapterus ( Pan et al. 2019), the correct orthography of the name of the new species is O. tetraptera , is written by using an inaccurate gender, namely " tetrapterus ", in the citation of the type of the new species (p. 85), in the discussion of the Etymology (p. 86) and in the notes of the illustration (pp. 86, 87 and 88). In the other new taxon, Oreocharis brachypodus ( Li and Li 2015), the correct orthography of the epithet " brachypoda " should be used to replace " brachypodus ". The inaccurately-used name gender appeared in the citation of the type of the new species (p. 296) and in the notes of the illustration (pp. 297 and 298). Thus, here we correct and revise two new species’ names as Oreocharis tetraptera and O. brachypoda .
