 Lispe nigrifacies Becker, 1914   
 Lispe haha Snyder, 1965   
 Remarks. As discussed in Vikhrev (2012c; 2014), the Palaearctic records of Lispe bivittata Stein, 1909 (Hennig 1960; Pont 1991) were misidentifications of Lispe ochracea Becker, 1910 = Lispe subbivittata Mou, 1992 syn. nov. New synonymy is discussed below under L. ochracea. Here I stress the fact that Lispe bivittata is excluded from the Palaearctic list as an Oriental species.   
 Distribution. Widespread in the Oriental region: India: Assam and Uttarakhand; Myanmar, Shan; Thailand: Kanchanaburi, Mae Hong Son, Nakhon Ratchasima and Phuket; Cambodia; Vietnam, Lao Cai; Indonesia, Java; Taiwan; Japan, Bonin Islands.
