Two new species of the genus <i>Gonioctena</i>, <i>G.klapperichi</i> sp. nov. (Fujian) and <i>G.oberthueri</i> sp. nov. (Sichuan), are described and illustrated from China. Distinguishing characters from closely-related species are presented, respectively. The <i>Gonioctena</i> fauna of China now includes 53 species, of which about 60% are endemic.
