Abstract

The Chinese species of the genus Sericocampsomeris Betrem, 1941 are revised, based on morphology. Four species are recognised, of which one species is described as new, i.e. Sericocampsomeris punctata Liu & Chen, sp. nov., for which we also provide molecular sequence data to supplement its identity. A key to species of Sericocampsomeris from China and a distribution map are provided. Furthermore, we identify Sericocampsomeris punctata Liu & Chen, sp. nov. as a pollinator of Elaeocarpus sp. (Elaeocarpaceae) and recognise Leucopholis rorida (Fabricius, 1801) as a host of Sericocampsomeris rubromaculata (Smith, 1855).
