A revision of the genus Miccolamia Bates from China (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Desmiphorini)

The genus <i>Miccolamia</i> Bates, 1884 from China is revised. Sixteen species or subspecies of the genus are recognized (eight previously described and eight new): <i>Miccolamia savioi</i> Gressitt, 1940 from northwestern to eastern China, <i>M. mystica</i> Bi & Lin, <b>sp. nov.</b> from Hubei, <i>M. minuta</i> Bi & Lin, <b>sp. nov.</b> from Anhui, Shanghai, and Zhejiang, <i>M. yanziae</i> Bi & Lin, <b>sp. nov.</b> from Xizang, <i>M. holzschuhi</i> Bi & Chen, <b>sp. nov.</b> from Yunnan, <i>M. tonsilis</i> Holzschuh, 2010 from Gansu, Shaanxi, and Hubei, <i>M. coenosa</i> Holzschuh, 2010 from Shaanxi and Hubei, <i>M. shennong</i> Bi & Chen, <b>sp. nov.</b> from Hubei, <i>M. panda</i> Bi & Chen, <b>sp. nov.</b> from Sichuan, <i>M. dracuncula</i> Gressitt, 1942 from Sichuan, Chongqing, and Hubei, <i>M. d. orientalis</i> Bi & Lin, <b>ssp. nov.</b> from Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan, and Hubei, <i>M. binodosa</i> Pic, 1935 and <i>M. scintillans</i> Holzschuh, 2010 from Yunnan, <i>M. liubini</i> Bi & Chen, <b>sp. nov.</b> from Hainan, <i>M. tuberculipennis</i> Breuning, 1947 from Fujian, Zhejiang, Hubei, and Jiangxi, and <i>M. castaneoverrucosa</i> Hayashi, 1974 from Taiwan. One new synonym, <i>M. bicristata</i> Pesarini & Sabbadini, 1997 <b>syn. nov.</b> = <i>M. savioi</i> Gressitt, 1940 is proposed. <i>Miccolamia albosetosa</i> Gressitt, 1951 from Taiwan is treated as a taxon of uncertain generic position. <i>Miccolamia minuta</i> Bi & Lin, <b>sp. nov.</b> is considered to be the smallest cerambycid beetle known in China. <i>Miccolamia binodosa</i> Pic, 1935 and <i>M. scintillans</i> Holzschuh, 2010 are newly recorded from China.
