In 2002 B.-Y. Chen proved the inequality \[ \frac{\Delta f}{f}\leq \frac {(n_1+n_2)^2}{4n_2}\cdot\|H\|^2+n_1c\tag{*} \] for an isometric immersion \(\varphi:M_1\times_fM_2\to\widetilde M(c)\) from a warped product with \(\dim M_i=n_i\) into a real space form of constant curvature. Here, \(\Delta f\) denotes the Laplace operator \(-\text{tr}(\nabla\,\text{grad}\,f)\) and \(H\) the mean curvature normal of \(\varphi\). In 2003 an analogous result was derived for complex space forms \(\widetilde M(c)\). In the present paper \(\widetilde M(c)\) is replaced by a Hermitian manifold of constant holomorphic curvature \(c\), which locally is conformal to a Kähler manifold, and the immersion \(\varphi\) is assumed to be totally real (i.e., \(J\varphi_*T_pM\perp\varphi_*T_pM)\). In this situation the inequality (*) keeps valid, if the term \(n_1c\) is replaced by \(n_1(c+3 \sigma)/4\), where the function \(\sigma\) reflects features of the locally conformal Kähler structure of \(\widetilde M(c)\). Also the question is discussed under which conditions on \(\varphi\) equality holds.
