Abstract: Cerogria gozmanyi sp. n. is described from Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia. The lectotype is designated for Cerogria birmana Borchmann, 1942. The following new synonyms are established (junior synonyms in parentheses): Cerogria Borchmann, 1911 (= Aeschrocera Chen et Chou, 1966 syn. n. and Cerogriodes Borchmann, 1941 syn. n.), Cerogria albohirta (Wiedemann, 1821) (= Cerogria deserta Borchmann, 1916, syn. n.), Cerogria diffusa (Fairmaire, 1882) (= Cerogria luchti Borchmann, 1929, syn. n.), Cerogria diversicornis Pic, 1933 (= Cerogria brunneocollis Chen et Chou, 1996 and Cerogria harpacorna Chen et Chou, 1996), Cerogria flavicornis Borchmann, 1911 (= Schevodera glabricollis Chen et Xia, 2001, syn. n.), Cerogria gigas (Laporte, 1821) (= Cerogria brunneipennis Borchmann, 1916, syn. n.), Cerogria heros (Fairmaire, 1903) (= Lagria denticornis Fairmaire, 1903, syn. n.), Cerogria kikuchii (Kuno, 1929) (= Cerogria praecox Borchmann, 1941, syn. n.), Cerogria rufina (Fairmaire, 1894) (= Cerogria pilosa Borchmann, 1916, syn. n.), Lagria picta Borchmann, 1911 ( = Lagria rubella var. coadunata Borchmann, 1932, syn. n.), Neogria sulcipennis Borchmann, 1911 (= Neogria sobrina Borchmann, 1911, syn. n.). Odontocerostira Merkl, 2007 is proposed as a replacement name for Odontocera Chen et Yuan, 1996, not Audinet-Serville, 1833. Xenocerogria Merkl, 2007 is proposed as a replacement name for Xenocera Borchmann, 1936, not Broun, 1881. The following species are recorded for the first time from the Palaearctic region, from the following Chinese provinces: Cerogria pachycera (Fairmaire, 1886) from Jiangxi and Sichuan, Cerogria birmana Borchmann, 1942 from Yunnan, Lagria picta Borchmann, 1911 from Hongkong and Yunnan, and Xenocerogria feai (Borchmann, 1911) from Yunnan. Exostira bisbimaculata Pic, 1935 is new to Laos and Merklia bimaculata Chen, 1997 is new to Laos and Vietnam.
