Two species, Tillicera fortis sp. nov. and Tillicera spinosa sp. nov., are newly described. New distributional records are presented for Tillicera callosa Gerstmeier & Bernhard, 2010, Tillicera javana Spinola, 1844, Tillicera pseudocleroides Gerstmeier & Bernhard, 2010, Tillicera soror Schenkling, 1902, and Tillicera tonkinensis Gerstmeier & Bernhard, 2010. Clerus postmaculatus Nakane, 1963 syn. nov. is synonymized with Tillicera ihlei Corporaal, 1949. The presence of sensory organs (sensilla) on the ventral surface of the antennae is discovered in Tillicera and Hemitrachys for the first time. A key to the valid species of Tillicera is provided.
