Abstract: Type species is designated for Apteronympha Seidlitz, 1898. The following genus-group synonyms are proposed: Diversogria Pic, 1954, Heterogria Fairmaire, 1896, Lagriocera Fairmaire, 1896, Lagriodes Borchmann, 1930, Pachylagria Borchmann, 1912 and Wallardilagria Pic, 1910 are junior subjective synonyms of Xanthalia Fairmaire, 1894. Trachelolagria Pic, 1941 is transferred to the family Cleridae. New species-group synonyms are proposed in Anisostira (11), Cerogria (2), Chlorophila (6), Lagria (9), and Xanthalia (3). New combinations are proposed in Arthromacra (1), Casnonidea (1), Donaciolagria (2), and Xanthalia (61). Xanthalia borchmanni Merkl, 2004 is proposed as a replacement name for Xanthalia pilosa (Borchmann, 1943), secondary homonym of Xanthalia pilosa (Borchmann, 1930). Lectotypes are designated for Chlorophila portschinskii (Semenov, 1891), Lagria caucasica Motschulsky, 1860, Lagria fuscata Motschulsky, 1860, Lagria laticollis Motschulsky, 1860, Lagria subtilipunctata Seidlitz, 1898 and Clerus villosus Thunberg, 1821 (= Lopholagria villosa). New country and Chinese province records are given for five species. Arthromacra chifengi sp. n. is described from Taiwan.
