Diagnosis.

Anterior angles of pronotum protruding, pronotal disc with 2-5 irregular rows of fine punctures. Humeral groove of elytra distinct, punctures of elytra sparse and diminishing posteriorly, absent on apical 1/3. Femora of legs without tooth. Lateral metasternum with a long strip of pubescence.

Redescription.

BL = 7.5-9.0 mm, BW = 3.0-3.8 mm. Body brownish red.

Head (Figs 21 , 45A ). Vertex slightly convex, with a shallow groove in the middle, sparse punctate and pubescent laterally; frontoclypeal area triangular, lateral disc with sparse punctures and pubescent; labrum transverse, with sparse pubescent; antennae nearly 1/2 of body length, antennomeres 1-4 nearly globular, antennomere 2 shortest, antennomeres 5-10 nearly 1.1 × as long as wide, antennomere 11 slender.

Pronotum (Figs 21 , 45B ). Anterior angles protruding, posterior angles not protruding; sides slightly constricted in the middle; disc slightly raised; middle of disc with 2-5 rows of fine punctures. Scutellum triangular and pubescent.

Elytra (Figs 21 , 35B ). Humeri protruding, humeral groove and basal impression distinct; elytra without completely punctate striae, punctures sparse and large in the base, diminishing posteriorly, absent on apical 1/3; intervals smooth; epipleura raised, with a sparse row of fine punctures.

Mesosternum pubescent. Lateral metasternum with a long and straight strip of pubescence, metepisternum densely pubescent (Fig. 45C ).

Abdominal sternite (Fig. 35A ). Lateral transverse impressions small and indistinct on sternites 1-4, other areas of sternites 1-4 and all of sternite 5 densely pubescent.

Leg (Fig. 35C ). Femora with dense pubescence on the dorsal surface, with sparse pubescence on the ventral surface, without tooth.

Male genitalia (Fig. 50A-D ). Ostium occupying 1/4 length of median lobe (Fig. 50A ); apex hooked (Fig. 50B ); tegmen Y-shaped, basal piece of tegmen triangular and broad, lateral lobes slightly sclerotized and combined with second connecting membrane; internal sac membranous, with distinct dorsal, median and ventral sclerites, posterior part of dorsal sclerite paralleled in dorsal view, ventral sclerite short and flaky, median sclerite distinctly sclerotized (Fig. 50C, D ).

Female reproductive organs (Fig. 62A-C ). Tergites 8 and 9, sternites 8 and 9 sclerotized, posterior areas of tergite 8, sternite 8, and apodemes with pubescence, spiculum gastrale Y-shaped and long; ovipositor with dense pubescence, distal part of ovipositor cylindrical, long and with a protuberance; spermatheca simple and hooked.

Distribution

(Fig. 67 ). China (Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan Tibet, Yunnan); Indonesia (Java, Sumatra); Nepal; India ( Kimoto and Takizawa 1973; Bezděk and Schmitt 2017).

Host plant and habitat

(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.

Remark.

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.
