The cantharid Fissocantharis semifumata species-groupis reviewed. Fissocantharis semifumata (Fairmaire, 1889) is redescribed and illustrated. The type series of Fissocantharis fissa (Wittmer, 1997) is shown to consist of 3 species and clarified, except the holotype, the two paratypes become invalid. Fissocantharis grahami (Wittmer, 1997) is attributed to this species group. Six new species are described and illustrated, Fissocanthais yuisp. n. (CHINA: Yunnan), Fissocantharis semimetallicasp. n. (CHINA: Yunnan; MYANMAR: Kachin), Fissocantharis bicoloratasp. n. (CHINA: Sichuan), Fissocantharis maculicepssp. n. (CHINA: Gansu), Fissocantharis bimaculatasp. n. (CHINA: Sichuan) and Fissocantharis flavasp. n. (CHINA: Sichuan, Guizhou). The number of species in the Fissocantharis semifumata species-groupis increased from 4 to 11, and a key to all species is provided.
对斑芫菁属的半烟斑芫菁物种组进行了综述。重新描述并绘制了半烟斑芫菁（Fairmaire，1889）。结果表明，菲氏斑芫菁（Wittmer，1997）的模式系列由3个物种组成并得到澄清，除正模外，另外两个副模失效。格雷厄姆斑芫菁（Wittmer，1997）被归入该物种组。描述并绘制了6个新物种，即云南斑芫菁新种（中国：云南）、半金属斑芫菁新种（中国：云南；缅甸：克钦邦）、双色斑芫菁新种（中国：四川）、黄斑头斑芫菁新种（中国：甘肃）、双斑斑芫菁新种（中国：四川）和黄斑斑芫菁新种（中国：四川、贵州）。半烟斑芫菁物种组的物种数量从4个增加到11个，并提供了所有物种的检索表。
