            <p> Genus  Xenicotela Bates, 1884</p>
            <p> Xenicotela Bates, 1884: 242; Matsushita 1933: 346; Breuning 1944: 372; Gressitt 1951: 381; Breuning 1961: 353; Rondon and Breuning 1970: 458; Makihara 2007: 602; Hubweber et al. 2010: 288; Lin and Tavakilian 2019: 324; Xie et al. 2022: 145. </p>
            <p>Type species.</p>
            <p> Xenicotela fuscula Bates, 1884 [=  Xenicotela pardalis (Bates, 1884)]. </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p>Small-bodied; body length usually less than 20 mm. Eyes coarsely faceted. Antennae long and slender, usually more than twice body length in male and about twice body length in female; antennomeres III-XI basally and apically annulated with light-coloured pubescence, basal antennomeres distinctly fringed with sparse setae ventrally; scape short, distinctly constricted before the apex, with a narrow and completely closed cicatrix at apex; antennomere III distinctly longer than fourth, about 2.0 times as long as scape. Pronotum transverse, lateral spine short, tapered. Elytra elongate, with subparallel sides, apices rounded. Procoxal cavities closed posteriorly. Mesosternal process not tuberculate, mesocoxal cavities open at sides. Legs moderately long, femora clavate, mesotibiae without grooves near external apex, claws widely divergent.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar (new country record), Nepal, India.</p>
            <p>Comments.</p>
            <p> The genus was often confused with  Monochamus (Bates 1884; Gahan 1888; Gressitt 1942; Breuning 1960, 1965), probably due to the small body size, which makes it difficult to observe their differences. In fact, it can be easy distinguished from  Monochamus by the mesotibiae lacking grooves near the apex. </p>

            <p>Type material examined.</p>
            <p>Holotype, male (MNHN); label details are shown in Fig. 6e.</p>
            <p>Redescription.</p>
            <p>Male. Body length 13.0 mm, humeral width 4.0 mm. Body mostly blackish brown, clothed with yellowish and dark-brown pubescence. Frons clothed with uniform yellowish pubescence, decorated with a black velvet patch behind each upper eye lobe. Antennae reddish brown, basal five segments fringed with sparse setae ventrally, base and extreme apex of antennomeres III-X, base and apical half of antennomere XI annulated with spare greyish-yellow pubescence. Pronotum decorated with a black velvet patch edged with greyish-yellow to yellow pubescent border on each side of basal half. Scutellum clothed with yellowish pubescence at edges. Elytra dark brown, clothed with yellowish and dark-brown pubescence forming a mixture of irregular dark and light markings. Underside mostly clothed with greyish-yellow pubescence, ventrites fringed with short yellowish setae at posterior edge and with two dark-brown spots on each side forming two incomplete longitudinal stripes. Legs mostly reddish brown; femurs and tibiae decorated with a dark-brown median annulation.</p>
            <p>Head finely punctate, frons transverse, lower eye lobes shorter than genae. Antennae long, about 2.0 times as long as body, scape robust, distinctly constricted before cicatrix; antennomere III a little longer than antennomere IV, about 2.0 times as long as scape; antennomeres III-X slightly protruding inwards at apex. Pronotum transverse; lateral spine short and blunt, coniform; disc punctured similarly to head. Scutellum lingulate. Elytra elongate, about 2.0 times as long as width across humeri, with subparallel sides and rounded apices; surface punctures similar to those of pronotum, gradually inconspicuous towards apex. Legs moderately long, femora slightly clavate, claws divaricate.</p>
            <p>Female. Unknown.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Vietnam (Tonkin).</p>
            <p>Comments.</p>
            <p> This species is very similar to  X. distincta , differing mainly in the elytral pattern. The irregular dark patches on the middle of each elytron are not connected into a large transverse band, while  X. distincta shows a clear broad transverse middle dark band on each elytron. In addition, this species has the scutellum with the wider lighter-coloured pubescent border. The taxonomic status of this species needs to be further confirmed based on additional material. </p>

            <p>Redescription.</p>
            <p>Female. Body length 13.0 mm, humeral width 4.0 mm. Body mostly blackish brown, clothed with off-white, pale yellowish-brown to greyish-yellow and dark-brown pubescence. Head decorated with a dark-brown pubescent patch behind each upper eye lobe, a pair of homogeneous patches located at the base half of pronotum, widely separated anteriorly and indistinctly edged with pale-yellow pubescence on anterior and lateral sides. Antennae reddish brown; scape and pedicel densely clothed with greyish-yellow pubescence; base and extreme apex of antennomeres III-X; base and apical half of antennomere XI annulated with greyish-yellow pubescence; basal five segments fringed with sparse greyish-yellow setae ventrally. Scutellum completely clothed with greyish-yellow pubescence. Elytra dark brown, clothed with off-white, pale yellowish-brown to greyish-yellow and dark-brown pubescence forming a mottled pattern, distinctly dotted with irregular dark-brown spots; each elytron adorned with a large broad dark-brown median patch, slightly reduced near the suture. Tibiae decorated with a narrow subbasal and a wide apical annulus of greyish-yellow to pale-yellow pubescence.</p>
            <p>Frons transverse, finely punctate; lower eye lobes slightly longer than genae. Antennae long, about 1.9 times as long as body; scape robust and short; base narrowed; apex distinctly constricted before cicatrix; antennomere III a little longer than antennomere IV, about 2.0 times as long as scape; antennomeres III-X slightly thickened at extreme apex. Pronotum transverse; lateral spine coniform, with pointed apex; disc dotted with fine punctures. Scutellum lingulate. Elytra elongate, about 2.3 times as long as width across humeri, with subparallel sides and rounded apices; punctures a little coarser and sparser than those on head and pronotum, sparser and even finer towards the apex; disc slightly raised at centre of basal third, followed by a weak central depression. Legs moderately long, femora slightly clavate, claws divaricate.</p>
            <p>Male. Unknown.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Laos (Pak Kading), Vietnam (Tonkin).</p>
            <p>Comments.</p>
            <p> This species has the antennae with the scape robust and short and distinctly constricted before the cicatrix, basal five antennomeres fringed with sparse setae ventrally, and antennomeres III-XI annulated with light-coloured pubescence on base and apex; the pronotum with the lateral spine small, short and coniform, and the middle legs with the tibia without grooves. These characters are consistent with the genus  Xenicotela . </p>
            <p> This species is similar to  X. distincta and  X. griseomaculata , from which it differs in the lower eye lobe being longer than gena, the scutellum completely covered with light-coloured pubescence, and the base and the apex of elytra mostly clothed with light-coloured pubescence interspersed with small irregular dark-brown spots. In  X. distincta , the lower eye lobe is about as long as gena, the scutellum is only clothed with the light-coloured pubescence on the edge and the elytra are not dotted with small irregular dark-brown spots. In  X. griseomaculata , the lower eye lobe is shorter than gena, the scutellum is not clothed with light-coloured pubescence on the basal centre, and the base and apex of the elytra are mostly dark, adorned with light-coloured pubescent patches. </p>
            <p> Wang (1998) incorrectly identified the specimens of  X. distincta from Guizhou and Yunnan as this species on the basis of the main features of two black spots behind the upper eye lobes and at the base of pronotum respectively. In fact,  X. binigricollis can be easy distinguished from  X. distincta , as mentioned above. Consequently, it must be excluded from the fauna of China based on the information currently available. </p>

            <p>Comments.</p>
            <p> Bates (1884) described this species twice in the same publication, as  M. pardalinus and  X. fuscula , based on specimens from different localities. Breuning (1944) transferred  M. pardalinus into the genus  Xenicotela and proposed  X. fuscula as its synonym. The holotype of  M. pardalinus is larger in size than the holotype of  X. fuscula , with longer antennae with the basal six antennomeres fringed with setae, the antennae appear darker in colour and the pubescent rings on the antennomeres look more obvious, while in the holotype of  X. fuscula , only the basal four segments of the antennae are fringed with sparse setae, the fifth segment is only fringed with one or two setae and the pubescent rings on the antennomeres appear less distinct than those of the former specimen. These characters made them look like different species. Bates (1884) considered both holotypes to be males. In fact, they are females, according to the antennae / body length ratio (about 2: 1, in males 2.5-3: 1). Tavakilian and Chevillotte (2023) stated that types of both  X. pardalinus and  X. fuscula are conserved in the MNHN. This is not correct, as Bates described them from the collection of George Lewis (1839-1926), which is in the NHMUK. </p>

            <p> Monochamus villiersi Breuning, 1960: 33; Breuning 1961: 370. Type locality: Tonkin (Hoa Binh), Vietnam. </p>
            <p>Type material examined.</p>
            <p>Holotype, male (MNHN), the label details are shown in Fig. 8e.</p>
            <p>Redescription.</p>
            <p>Male. Body length 13.0 mm, humeral width 4.5 mm. Body mostly dull reddish brown, clothed with greyish-yellow to pale-yellow and brown pubescence mottled on dorsal surface. Head and pronotum slightly darker than elytra; legs somewhat blackish brown. Head decorated with a dark-brown pubescent patch behind each upper lobe of eyes and a pair of homogeneous patches located at the basal half of pronotum, edged with pale-yellow pubescence and widely separated anteriorly. Antennae reddish brown; scape and pedicel densely clothed with greyish-yellow pubescence; base and extreme apex of antennomeres III-X; base and apical half of antennomere XI annulated with greyish-yellow pubescence; basal five segments fringed with sparse greyish-yellow setae ventrally. Scutellum covered with whitish yellow throughout. Elytra dull reddish brown, mottled with greyish-yellow to pale-yellow and brown pubescence. Tibiae decorated with a narrow subbasal and a wide apical annulus of greyish-yellow to pale-yellow pubescence.</p>
            <p>Frons transverse, densely and finely punctate; lower lobes of eyes about as long as genae. Antennae long, about 2.5 times as long as body, with the apex of the fifth segment or the base of the sixth one exceeding the elytral apex; scape robust and short, base narrowed, apex distinctly constricted before cicatrix; antennomere III slightly longer than antennomere IV, about 2.5 times as long as scape; extreme apex of antennomeres III-X obviously thickened inwards. Pronotum transverse; lateral spine short and blunt, coniform; disc dotted with fine punctures. Scutellum lingulate. Elytra elongate, about 2.2 times as long as width across humeri, with subparallel sides and rounded apices; surface finely punctate, the punctures gradually becoming finer and sparser towards apex; disc slightly raised at centre of basal third, followed by a weak central depression. Legs moderately long, femora slightly clavate, claws divaricate.</p>
            <p>Female. Unknown.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>Vietnam (Tonkin).</p>
            <p>Comments.</p>
            <p> This species has the mesotibiae without grooves near the apex, the head decorated with two black velvet patches behind the upper eye lobes, the scape distinctly constricted before the apical cicatrix, the basal five antennomeres fringed ventrally and antennomeres III-XI annulated with light-coloured pubescent rings on the base and apex, the pronotum with two black velvet patches on the base, the elytra mottled with light-coloured pubescence mixed with brown pubescence and the tibiae ringed with dark and light-coloured pubescence. All characters are consistent with the genus  Xenicotela . </p>
            <p> This species is very similar to  X. bimaculata , from which it can be distinguished by the male antennae being much longer (about 2.5 times as long as body), the scutellum wholly covered with light-coloured pubescence, the base of the tibiae mostly dark with a light-coloured pubescent ring and the elytra more mottled. In  X. bimaculata , the male antennae are only about 2.0 times as long as body, the scutellum is mostly clothed with light-coloured pubescence and the base of the tibiae is mostly clothed with light-coloured pubescence.  Xenicotela villiersi is also similar to  X. convexicollis but differs in antennomeres V-VIII more protruding inwards at the apex and the elytra less elongate, without a transverse dark band behind the middle. </p>
