The lycid genus Mesolycus Gorham, 1883 is mainly distributed in East Palaearctic and Indochinese regions, but poorly studied in China; moreover, its phylogenetic placement remains controversial but has never been rigorously tested. In this study, Mesolycus was reviewed and its placement within Lycidae was tested based on a multilocus phylogeny (cox1, nad5, cox2 and Lrna) by both ML and BI analyses. The reconstructed phylogenies show that Mesolycus is a consistently recovered sister to Dilophotes Waterhouse, 1879, and they form a monophyletic clade which is well supported. This suggests that Mesolycus definitely belongs to Dilophotini rather than to Macrolycini of Lycinae. Besides, three species originally described or placed in Dilophotes are transferred to Mesolycus, including M. atricollis (Pic, 1926) comb. n., M. particularis (Pic, 1928) comb. n. and M. pacholatkoi (Bic, 2002) comb. n. Four new species are discovered in China, including M. shaanxiensis sp. n., M. dentatus sp. n., M. breviplatus sp. n. and M. varus sp. n. Two species, M. murzini Kazantsev, 2004 and M. rubromarginatus Kazantsev, 2013, are recorded from China for the first time. A key for the identification of all Mesolycus species is provided. China was revealed as the region with the highest species diversity of this genus.

The morphology of the tribe Macrolycini of net-winged beetles (Lycidae) is studied. The subtribe Dilophotina Kleine, nom. rev. is revalidated from synonymy with Macrolycini. A new genus Calcaeron gen. n. and five new species: Mesolycus hubeicus, M. nanensis, M. murzini, Calcaeron sundaicus and C. baluensis are described. Mesolycus Gorham nom. rev. is revalidated from synonymy with Dilophotes, while Flabellodilophotes Pic, 1912 and Biphilodes Kazantsev, 2000 are synonymized with Mesolycus. Dilophotes moxiensis Bic is found to be synonymous to Mesolycus ilyai (Kazantsev). M. mediozonatus (Nakane), stat. n. is raised to species level. The following taxa are transferred to Mesolycus: Dilophotes pygmaeus Waterhouse, D. shelfordi Bourgeois, D. discoidalis Pic, D. ater Pic, D. tricostatus Kleine, D. ilyai Kazantsev, D. qinlinganus Kazantsev, D. tibetanus Kazantsev, D. berezowskii Kazantsev, D. sausai Bic, D. laosensis Bic, D. bolavensis Bic, D. jendeki Bic, D. holzschuhi Bic, D. bhutanensis Bic and Flabellodilophotes obscurus Pic. The phylogeny of Macrolycini is discussed and a key to the genera of the tribe is provided.
