Simple Summary Lycocerus Gorham, 1889 has about 320 species worldwide at present, of which a small part have been attributed into 13 species groups, but the rest remain uncertain in their status. In the present study, five previously known species and another four new species from China and Vietnam were classified to the Lycocerus fainanus species group, based on their morphological characters. Then the distribution pattern of this group was analyzed with ArcGIS techniques. It showed that all species were constricted to the subtropical area of the Oriental region and distributed in both Taiwan and the continent. Further, the ancestral distribution range was reconstructed with the aid of the Reconstruct Ancestral State in Phylogenies (RASP) software, based on a phylogeny of morphological data. The results showed that the spatial origin was located in northern Vietnam and southwest China. Subsequently, two dispersal routes occurred: the first originated from the continent and then to Taiwan, the second from Taiwan to the continent, and the divergence between the species was caused by dispersal and vicariance. Unfortunately, it was difficult to estimate the timing of origin because of the lack of direct fossil evidence and molecular data. Abstract Five previously known species were attributed to the Lycocerus fainanus species group, including L. inopaciceps (Pic 1926), L. oberthueri (Gorham 1889), L. oudai (Švihla 2004), L. metallipennis (Fairmaire 1887), and L. nigripes (Wittmer, 1995). Four new species of this group were discovered from China and Vietnam, L. binotatus sp. nov., L. testacicollis sp. nov., L. daliensis sp. nov., and L. vietnamensis sp. nov. An updated key to all species was provided. A geographical distribution map is presented, which shows that all the members were located between 18.69041–33.93441° N, and between 98.61413–121.77102° E. The ancestral geographical range was reconstructed based on a phylogeny of morphological data by the Bayesian Binary MCMC method. The result showed that the spatial origin of L. fainanus species group was probably located in northern Vietnam and southwest China. The divergence of the species in southwest China and Taiwan was caused by vicariance about 24 Ma ago, when the latter was separated in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the remaining species of mainland China all originated from Taiwan after traveling around Southeast Asia and back to China. Nevertheless, this conclusion should be verified when fossil evidence and molecular data are available.
