Two new species of the genus Tillicera Spinola, 1841 from China are described and illustrated: Tillicera sensibilissp. n. from Yunnan (also from Myanmar, Thailand and Laos) and Tillicera weniisp. n. from Taiwan. Tillicera bibalteata Gorham, 1892, Tillicera hirsuta (Pic, 1926) and Tillicera michaeli Gerstmeier & Bernhard, 2010 are newly recorded from China. Tillicera auratofasciata (Pic, 1927) is newly recorded in some provinces of China. A key to species of the genus from China is provided. Relationships between species are discussed with emphasis on characters of male phallus, female internal reproductive organs and pit-like sensilla in male terminal antennomere, which is discovered in Tillicera for the first time. The present generic definition of Tillicera is discussed as well. Photos of terminalia of the previously known species are also provided for comparison.

The Tillicera genus group is revised and defined to contain 40 species in the following six genera: Apopempsis Schenkling, 1903; Cardiostichus Quedenfeldt, 1885; Hemitrachys Gorham, 1876; Placocerus Klug, 1837; Plathanocera Schenkling, 1902 and Tillicera Spinola, 1941. The definition of the Tillicera genus group is mainly based on the presence of the dorsoventrally compressed and expanded antennae (from antennomere 3 onwards). The antennomeres are dilated at least from antennomeres 5 to 9 onwards, and are broader than long, always vested with dense long setae.
