Abstract: A little-known genus Falsorsidis Breuning, 1959 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae:
Lamiinae), so far known only from Vietnam, is newly recorded from China upon the
discoveries of its type and until now the only known species, F. griseofasciatus
(Pic, 1926), from Guangxi, and F. lichaoi sp. nov. from Yunnan. The genus is
proposed to be transferred from the tribe Desmiphorini to Lamiini and is
considered to be closest to the Oriental genus Granulorsidis Breuning,
1980. Description and illustrations of the habitus, endophallic structure and
major diagnostic features for the involved taxa are provided.
