By looking to this page, I do not understand what is Miaenia genus... . I feel that numerous species belong in fact to different genus or tribes.
First, it necessary to read:
- CHOI Ik Je, KWON Tae Sung & LIM Jongok, 2018. A taxonomic review of the genus Miaenia Pascoe, 1864 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from South Korea with a new record of M. tonsa (Bates). Journal of Forest Research 29 (3): 833-840, 4 figs.
- TSHEREPANOV Alexei Ignatevich, 1979. Novyy vid roda Miaenia (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae).Trudy Vsesoyuznogo Entomologicheskogo Obshchestva 61: 82-83.
Does anyone have these papers ?
You can find an open acces version of CHOI Ik Je, KWON Tae Sung & LIM Jongok, 2018. A taxonomic review of the genus Miaenia Pascoe, 1864 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from South Korea with a new record of M. tonsa (Bates). Journal of Forest Research 29 (3): 833-840, 4 figs. here https://m.fx361.com/news/2018/0519/17132926.html
Interesting pictures of genitalia. I don't have my specimens here but maybe you or Gérard can check it.

Judging by your recent activity, you're better at this than I am.
- is this picture well identify ? -I think so. At least that's how "our" species is treated.
does it really belong to Miaenia Pascoe, 1864? - good question.. But I don't have anything to add because I don't even have this beetle in my collection. It is rare species in Primorye.
-74 species of subgenus Miaenia (Acanthosciades), Miaenia (Aegocidnus), Miaenia (Estoliops), Miae.. - it's hard to imagine that this is some kind of natural group. |

mesocoxal cavities comparison, specimen male
in Breuning revision (1977-1978), Miaenia Pascoe, 1864 have mesocoxal cavities closed, and belong to Acanthocinini tribe.
Members of Desmiphorini tribe have mesocoxal cavities open. |

It seems to me that there is a problem, since the genus Miaenia Pascoe, 1864 gathers species with intermediate tibias furrowed and long antenna (as here ), and species without furrow at intermediate tibias (and short antenna ?) .
In Breuning revision (1977-1978), 74 species of subgenus Miaenia (Acanthosciades), Miaenia (Aegocidnus), Miaenia (Estoliops), Miaenia (Granulimiaenia), Miaenia (Indoaegocidnus), Miaenia (Miaenia) , Miaenia (Micronesiella), Miaenia (Nonymoides), Miaenia (Pomeranaegocidnus), Miaenia (Sibuyomiaenia), Miaenia (Tonkinomiaenia), Miaenia (Truncatomiaenia) have a furrow at intermediate tibias.
Who understands something ?

This is very similar to a beetles called now as Miaenia maritima. Maybe another species certainly.

Ok, so it could also be an undescribed species of Amblymoropsis Breuning, 1958 : the 4 known species are all red, with different punctuation.

very similar to Amblymoropsis Breuning (=Setosophroniella) from New Guinea and Australia - maybe introduced to China ? |

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought of this genus: all the species I know are rather reddish and white... |
