Three new species of false fire-coloured beetles, namely Ischalia (s. str.) ancora, I. (s. str.) holzschuhi, and I. (s. str.) laosensis spp. n., are described from Laos and Vietnam. Ischalia (s. str.) martensi Paulus, 1971 is redescribed from the type and additional material. Male genitalia are for the first time illustrated in I. (Eupleurida) sichuanensis Young, 2008. A key to aposematically coloured species from the Asian continent is presented for the first time. Their mimicry association is further investigated and a new case involving Anthicidae is reported.
