Background: The genus ＂Sphecapatodes＂ Villeneuve is recorded from China for the first time. Results: The ＂Sphecapatodes ornata＂ group is defined and reviewed, with one new species, ＂Sphecapatodes xuei＂ sp. nov., described, photographed, and illustrated. The current concept of ＂S. ornata＂ Villeneuve, 1912 is shown to be based at least partly on a misidentification. A key to males of the ＂S. ornata＂ group is given. Wing interference patterns (WIPs) are presented for species-level discrimination of miltogrammine sarcophagids for the first time. Conclusions: The genus ＂Sphecapatodes＂ Villeneuve, 1912 is represented in China by two species, ＂S. kaszabi＂ Rohdendorf and Verves, 1980 and ＂S. xuei＂ sp. nov. WIPs can be used for species-level discrimination of miltogrammine sarcophagids.
