Holotype of Lilioceris atrilateralis (SEHU, photo), Nepal, T. Kumata / Balaju Kathmandy, 1968.IV.16 / 5 / Lilioceris atrilateralis Kimoto & Takizawa, 1973 / Holotype / Holotype, appended label by ÔHARA, INAPI, KANBE AUZUKI and HIRONACA, 2007 / 0000001233 Sys. Ent, Hokkaido Univ. Japan [SEHU].

This species is very similar to L. semipunctata according to the original description and photographs of the holotype, but differs by the black femora with its middle brownish red in ventral view; sides of the abdomen are black. In L. semipunctata, the femora are brownish red; sides of the abdomen are brownish red. For this species, we have not collected sufficient specimens; therefore, the species is only listed and not treated in detail.

(Fig. 69A, B). This species fed on Cycas revoluta Thunb. according to observation of HBL in Diaoluo Shan (Hainan). Diaoluo is one of the most well-preserved areas of tropical rainforest in China, located in the southeast of Hainan. The area has an oceanic tropical monsoon climate with abundant rainfall. The habitat of this species is open, composed of tall trees, woody vines, and weeds. It also occurred on C. revoluta planted in the garden.

This species can be easily recognized by its anterior angles of the pronotum being particularly rounded (Fig. 37B), and its male genitalia with three sclerites that are not clearly separated. The male genitalia are similar to that of L. yuae Long, 2000b, but differ by the dorsal sclerite being cruciform in dorsal view (Fig. 56C). In L. yuae, the dorsal sclerite is cuneiform in dorsal view (Fig. 55C).

The body color of this species is variable. The abdomen and legs of the specimens from Hainan are brownish red, while the specimens from Yunnan are completely black. We have compared the genitalia of specimens from Hainan and Yunnan and found no differences. We compared the type of Lilioceris xinglongensis Long, 1988 (Figs 3, 4) with that of L. consentanea, and found no significant differences; the two species are therefore treated as conspecific.

Host plant is unknown. We visited Jianfengling of Hainan where all Chinese specimens were collected, located in a subtropical area. The habitat is mixed primeval forest, orchards, and farmland with high temperatures, plentiful precipitation, and plenty of sunlight. The type locality, Tianchi, refers to a lake area surrounded by shrubs and tall trees.

Lilioceris dentifemoralis can be distinguished from other species in this group by the femora of mid- and hind legs with a tooth (Fig. 32C). This species seems to be very rare: we tried several times to collect this species in Hainan but failed.

(Fig. 67). China (Yunnan, Guangxi); Laos; Thailand; Vietnam. New record from China

(Fig. 70A, B). This species is fed on Smilax sp. according to our observations in Yunnan. One locality of this species in Maku village (Yunnan, Gongshan, Dulongjiang) is situated at the subtropics. The habitat is primeval forest, which is characterized by both high temperatures and humidity, plentiful precipitation, but without much sunlight. The forests are composed of tall trees, woody vines, and weeds.

The body size of this species is very large for the genus. It is similar to L. latissima, but differs by the pronotal disc with four or five irregular rows of fine punctures, and the lateral metasternum with a long arcuate strip of pubescence (in L. latissima, the pronotal disc has two rows of fine punctures, and the lateral metasternum is smooth).

Lilioceris discrepens was described by Baly (1879) from Laos, subsequently listed with simple characteristics in a key by Kimoto and Gressitt (1979: 220) and an illustration of the sternum and episternum (Kimoto and Gressitt 1979: 224, fig. 14j), but we examined the types (Figs 9, 10) and found that the identification was wrong. The lateral metasternum has a long strip of pubescence, rather than the sparse pubescence as illustrated by Kimoto and Gressitt (1979).

This species is fed on Smilax corbularia Kunth according to our observation in Yunnan. One locality of this species in Baihua Shan (Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, Jinghong) is situated at subtropics. This habitat is mixed primeval forest and farmland, with high temperatures, plentiful precipitation, and plenty of sunlight.

Lilioceris latissima can be distinguished from other species in this group by the smooth metasternum (Fig. 41C) and middle of pronotal disc with three or four rows of fine punctures (Fig. 41B).

This species was described by Pic (1932) from Tonkin, Vietnam. Subsequently, Kimoto and Gressitt listed simple characteristics in a key (1979: 220) and provided an illustration for the sternum and episternum (1979: 224, fig. 141). We examined the types (Figs 13, 14) and found that their identification was wrong: the lateroposterior corner of the metasternum of the type is glabrous, rather than densely pubescent as illustrated by Kimoto and Gressitt (1979). Furthermore, the distributions in Thailand and Laos listed by Kimoto and Gressitt need confirmation, and we therefore exclude them in this study.

(Fig. 71A, B). The host plant of this species is Smilax bracteata Presl according to our observation in Xishuangbanna. It shares the same habitat with L. latissima in Baihua Shan of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.

This species is most similar to L. semipunctata, but differed by the strongly convex vertex (Fig. 43A); the disc of pronotum has three or four rows of fine punctures (Fig. 43B); the posterior part of the dorsal sclerite is slightly widened in dorsal view, quadrate at the apex (Fig. 48C). In L. semipunctata, the vertex is slightly convex (Fig. 44A); the disc of the pronotum has two rows of fine punctures (Fig. 44B); and the posterior part of the dorsal sclerite is parallel in dorsal view, rounded at apex (Fig. 50C).

This species has obvious sexual dimorphism: the middle of the abdominal sternites have a dense pubescence in the male, but the middle of these abdo­minal sternites are smooth in the female.

(Fig. 73A, B). Host plant of this species is Smilax bracteata Presl. and Lilioceris semipunctata shares the same habitat as L. latissima according to our observations in Baihua Shan of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.

Fabricius (1801: 472) described Lilioceris semipunctata based on specimens from Sumatra. We examined three syntype photographs of L. semipunctata. They obviously belong to two different species: the specimen with the identification label and locality is here designated as lectotype (Figs 21, 22). The other two specimens (TYPE / zmuc 00031032; TYPE / zmuc 00031031) with no label and no locality are here excluded from the type series. These two specimens with a glabrous metasternum are clearly different from the lectotype, but identical to Lilioceris latissima.

Lacordaire (1845: 559) redescribed Lema semipunctata based the specimens from Java, and indicated that Lema dehaanii (Guérin-Méneville, 1844) was completely similar to L. semipunctata, and moved it to the genus Crioceris. Then Kimoto and Gressitt (1979: 230) synonymized L. dehaanii with L. semipunctata, and subsequent researchers followed this treatment.

We also examined a syntype of Lilioceris rufimembris (Pic, 1921) in NHHN, and no significant morphological differences were found from the lectotype of L. semipunctata, except for two rows fine punctures on pronotum (Fig. 23), which are absent in the lectotype of L. semipunctata (Fig. 21). In IZCAS, there are more than 150 specimens from Yunnan that perfectly match these two types of punctures on the pronotum. We compared all these specimens and found that there were no significant morphological differences including male genitalia. Therefore, we conclude that L. semipunctata and L. rufimembris are conspecific, and that the pronotal punctures in L. semipunctata can be variable.

(Fig. 74A–D). This species feeds on Smilax lanceifolia Roxb. according to our observation in Hainan. One locality of this species, near a road of Gaofeng village (Hainan, Baisha), is situated at the subtropics. The habitat is secondary forests, which is characterized by high temperature and humidity, plentiful precipitation, and much sunlight. The forests are open and composed of tall trees, woody vines, and many weeds.

Lilioceris yuae is very similar to L. cyanicollis but differs by the body color and pubescence on the metasternum; the body of L. yuae is brownish red, and only the head, antenna, leg, and lateral metasternum have a very weak blue metallic luster; lateroposterior corner of metepisternum with sparse pubescence. In L. cyanicollis, the elytra and abdomen are brownish red, pronotum is brownish red or blue, and the other areas are blue with a distinctly blue metallic luster; and the metepisternum is glabrous. However, the male genitalia and the female reproductive organs of these two species are very similar. We temporarily treat L. yuae as distinct species, as more material is needed to conclusively elucidate their relationship.
