The previous Lycocerus fainanus Subgroup which had been placed under the L. vitellinus Group is proposed as an independent species-group. The following members of Lycocerus are added into the upgraded L. fainanus Group: L. metallescens metallescens (Gorham, 1889) (China and Taiwan), L. m. fukienensis (Wittmer, 1954) (China), L. rufomandiburalis (Pic, 1914) (Vietnam) and L. niisatoi sp. nov. (Taiwan). A key to the L. fainanus Group for Taiwanese members is provided.
