Three new species of entomobryid springtails (Collembola) from China are described here. Homidia pseudozhangi sp. nov. is characterised by a narrow irregular longitudinal stripe on the body, smooth chaetae e and l(1) of the labial base, and the relative position of the specialized microchaeta on Abd. I; H. qianensis sp. nov. by its colour pattern on the antennae and nine sutural macrochaetae on the head; and Entomobrya shaanxiensis sp. nov. by its colour pattern, labral papillae and the lateral process of labial papilla E. Specimens of Akabosia matsudoensis Kinoshita, 1919 from China are redescribed, including description of some characters for the first time.
