Notes.

We checked the holotype of Seasogonia rufipenna Li & Wang. Unfortunately, we failed to check the holotype of Seasogonia nigromaculata Kuoh, but based on its detailed Chinese descriptions and illustrations of external feature and male genitalia provided by Kuoh (1991), we regarded Seasogonia rufipenna Li & Wang as a junior synonym of Seasogonia nigromaculata Kuoh.
