This paper is the first in a series of studies on the genus Habroloma Thomson (1864) from China. The present paper provides discussion on taxonomic characters, indicates the unreliableness for some characters commonly used by previous authors, and proposes new clues for taxonomic studies of this difficult group. Seven species are newly described and illustrated from China: Habroloma attenuatumsp. nov., H. bianpingsp. nov., H. compactumsp. nov., H. elongutumsp. nov., H. hispidumsp. nov., H. latumsp. nov., and H. quadratumsp. nov.
