On the ground of the taxonomic revision of the family Meloidae Gyllenhal, 1810 from China and extensive examination of type specimens, the following new synonyms and combinations of blister beetle species are established: Zonitis bomiensis Tan, 1988 syn. nov. = Longizonitis semirubra (Pic, 1911); Schroetteria subpolita Reitter, 1911 syn. nov. = Megatrachelus politus (Gebler, 1832); Epicauta rishwani Makhan, 2013 syn. nov. = Denierella emmerichi Pic, 1934; Epicauta thailandica Dvořák, 1996 syn. nov. = Denierella venerabilis Kaszab, 1956; Epicauta mojiangensis Tan et Deng, 1993 syn. nov. = Epicauta makliniana Kaszab, 1958; Epicauta xantusi Kaszab, 1952 syn. nov. = Epicauta obscurocephala Reitter, 1905; Lytta badeni Haag-Rutenburg, 1880 syn. nov. = Epicauta sibirica (Pallas, 1773); Epicauta badeni sinica Kaszab, 1960 syn. nov. = Epicauta sibirica (Pallas, 1773); Lytta choui Wang, Wang et Ren, 2012 syn. nov. = Lytta suturella (Motschulsky, 1860); Zonabris calida var. baicalica Pic, 1919 syn. nov. = Mylabris aulica Ménétriés, 1832; Zonitomorpha kimi (Kôno, 1936) comb. nov.; Zonitomorpha miwai (Kôno, 1936) comb. nov.; Zonitoschema fuscimembris (Fairmaire, 1886) comb. nov. Furthermore, Zonitoschema macroxantha yunnana Kaszab, 1960 is provisionally raised to Z. yunnanum stat. nov. A lectotype is designated for Zonitoschema fuscimembris. Six new Chinese province records of five species (Denierella emmerichi, Epicauta obscurocephala, Epicauta sibirica, Lytta suturella, and Mylabris aulica) are reported. Illustrations are provided for 21 type specimens, the aedeagus of two Zonitoschema species, and the antennomere XI of two Mylabris species.
基于对中国1810年拟步甲科（Meloidae Gyllenhal）的分类修订以及对模式标本的广泛研究，建立了以下芫菁科物种的新异名和新组合：波密斑芫菁Zonitis bomiensis Tan, 1988 新异名 = 半红长斑芫菁Longizonitis semirubra (Pic, 1911)；亚光皱芫菁Schroetteria subpolita Reitter, 1911 新异名 = 光皱巨跗芫菁Megatrachelus politus (Gebler, 1832)；里氏斑芫菁Epicauta rishwani Makhan, 2013 新异名 = 埃氏丹氏芫菁Denierella emmerichi Pic, 1934；泰国斑芫菁Epicauta thailandica Dvořák, 1996 新异名 = 可敬丹氏芫菁Denierella venerabilis Kaszab, 1956；墨江斑芫菁Epicauta mojiangensis Tan et Deng, 1993 新异名 = 马克林斑芫菁Epicauta makliniana Kaszab, 1958；桑氏斑芫菁Epicauta xantusi Kaszab, 1952 新异名 = 暗头斑芫菁Epicauta obscurocephala Reitter, 1905；巴氏芫菁Lytta badeni Haag-Rutenburg, 1880 新异名 = 西伯利亚斑芫菁Epicauta sibirica (Pallas, 1773)；中华巴氏芫菁Epicauta badeni sinica Kaszab, 1960 新异名 = 西伯利亚斑芫菁Epicauta sibirica (Pallas, 1773)；周氏芫菁Lytta choui Wang, Wang et Ren, 2012 新异名 = 缝纹芫菁Lytta suturella (Motschulsky, 1860)；黄胫带纹芫菁Zonabris calida var. baicalica Pic, 1919 新异名 = 奥氏豆芫菁Mylabris aulica Ménétriés, 1832；基氏带纹拟步甲Zonitomorpha kimi (Kôno, 1936) 新组合；三宅氏带纹拟步甲Zonitomorpha miwai (Kôno, 1936) 新组合；暗膜带纹拟步甲Zonitoschema fuscimembris (Fairmaire, 1886) 新组合。此外，云南大斑带纹拟步甲Zonitoschema macroxantha yunnana Kaszab, 1960 暂提升为云南带纹拟步甲Z. yunnanum 新地位。为暗膜带纹拟步甲指定了选模。报道了5个物种（埃氏丹氏芫菁、暗头斑芫菁、西伯利亚斑芫菁、缝纹芫菁和奥氏豆芫菁）在中国6个省份的新记录。提供了21个模式标本、2种带纹拟步甲的阳茎以及2种豆芫菁的第11节触角的图。
