Description

The genus Neocerambyx J. Thomson, 1861 in China is surveyed, and three new species are described: N. liyuani Lin, Miroshnikov & He, sp. nov. from Sichuan and Hubei provinces, N. miaobenfui Lin, Miroshnikov & He, sp. nov. and N. gui Lin, Miroshnikov & He, sp. nov., both from Hainan Island.
