Detailed morphological characters and photographs of the new species, as well as a checklist and key to species of this genus, are provided herein. The two species described from Oriental China, Systenusjinxiuensis Lin & Yang, 2022 and S.sinensis Yang & Gaimari, 2004, are transferred to Euxiphocerus Parent, 1935 (comb. nov.) by similarity in external morphological characters.
