Two new species of the genus Diochus from China are described and illustrated: D. caudapiscis Shuai, Nozaki & Tang, sp. n. from Yunnan, and D. guizhouensis Shuai, Nozaki & Tang, sp. n. from Guizhou. Diochus bicornutus Zhou & Zhou, 2016 syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of D. japonicus Cameron, 1930, which is reported as new to Anhui.
