how to block IP range on .htaccess?

The Chinese spam bot disaster

[tito]

hello, please i'm a newbie dealing with my htaccess, could somebody please help me in blocking the following IP ranges?

211.99.210.0 - 211.99.217.255
211.99.32.0 - 211.99.39.255
218.62.128.0 - 218.63.255.255
61.152.210.0 - 61.152.210.255
219.128.0.0 - 219.137.255.255

these IP ranges are used by Chinese spam bot, email harvesters.

thanks in advance
