Six new species of Habronychus (Habronychus) Wittmer, 1981 are described, including H. (H.) laticeps Y. Yang, Ge & X. Yang, sp. n., H. (H.) honestus Y. Yang, Ge & X. Yang, sp. n., H. (H.) crassatus Y. Yang, Ge & X. Yang, sp. n. and H. (H.) tengchongensis Y. Yang, Ge & X. Yang, sp. n. from China, and H. (H.) longiplatus Y. Yang, Ge & Liu, sp. n. and H. (H.) trianguliceps Y. Yang, Ge & Liu, sp. n. from Vietnam. In addition, a previously known species, H. (H.) parallelicollis (Pic, 1921), is redescribed.
