Abstract

Three species of the genus Xenocerogria Merkl, 2007 have been recorded in China, X. feai (Borchmann, 1911), X. ignota (Borchmann, 1941) and X. ruficollis (Borchmann, 1912). Xenocera xanthisma Chen, 2002 is proposed as a junior synonym of X. ruficollis. Lectotype of X. ignota is designated, and the species is transferred to the genus Lagria Fabricius, 1775. New Chinese province records of X. ruficollis are provided.
