The ant genus Myrmecina Curtis, 1829 is a morphologically diverse group with a distribution spanning the Holarctic, Southeast Asia, and northeastern Australia, and comprising 106 described species worldwide. China represents a biodiversity hotspot for this genus, yet only 17 species were previously recognized. Here, we present a comprehensive morphological analysis of Chinese specimens, recognizing 28 valid species, including 11 new to science: Myrmecina carinolateralis Gu & Chen, sp. nov., M. flavipeda Gu & Chen, sp. nov., M. globicephala Gu & Chen, sp. nov., M. hirsuta Gu & Chen, sp. nov., M. jiachengi Gu & Chen, sp. nov., M. laevidorsa Gu & Chen, sp. nov., M. planiclypea Gu & Chen, sp. nov., M. rugosodorsum Gu & Chen, sp. nov., M. shanyii Gu & Chen, sp. nov., M. shixui Gu & Chen, sp. nov. and M. subuncinata Gu & Chen, sp. nov.

In addition, we provide an updated illustrated key to all Chinese Myrmecina species.
