The beetles of the family Lymexylonidae occurring in eastern and southeastern Asia are discussed. The genus Atractocerus PALISOT DE BEAUVOIS, 1801,is split into five genera, Atractocerus s. str., Raractocetus nov., Fusicornis PHILIPPI, 1866,Hymaloxylon nov. and Arractocetus nov., chiefly by the cephalic structure. Atractocerus mirabilis MIWA, 1935,and Hylecoetus formosanus MIWA, 1935,both described from Formosa, are synonymized with Raractocetus emarginatus (CASTELNAU, 1836) from tropical Asia and H. flavellicornis (SCHNEIDER, 1791), from the Palearctic Region respectively. Lymexylon oculare NAKANE, 1963,from Japan is transferred to the genus Melittomma MURRAY, 1867. Neohylecoetus Y. KUROSAWA, 1956. is regarded as a synonym of Melittomma; N. javanicus Y. KUROSAWA, 1956,from Java and N. philippensis Y. KUROSAWA, 1956,from the Philippines are both synonymous with M. javanicum (CHEVROLAT, 1829). Lymexylon amamianum sp. nov. from the Ryukyu Archipelago and Formosa and Arractocetus monticola sp. nov. from Formosa are described. The beetle recorded under the name of Atractocerus niger STROHMEYER, 1910,from Formosa is divided into two species, and together with true niger STROHMEYER and morio PASCOE, the four allied species are shown in a key. Problems on the behaviour of some species concerning with the size of the eyes and on the mimicry are discussed.
