Revision of the genus Arthrotus Motschulsky, 1858 (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae) of Taiwan, with notes on color polymorphism.

ABSTRACT: Seven species of Arthrotus are recognized and redescribed: A.abdominalis (Chûjô, 1962), A.gressitti Kimoto, 1969, A.hirashimai Kimoto, 1969, A.fulvus Chûjô, 1938, A.saigusai Kimoto, 1969, A.tricolor (Chûjô, 1965), and A.testaceus Gressitt & Kimoto, 1963. Also, two new species are described: A.yuae sp. nov. and A.yangi sp. nov. Three new synonyms are proposed: Proegmenataiwana Takizawa, 1978 syn. nov., Dercetinanakanei Kimoto, 1969 syn. nov. and A.shibatai Kimoto, 1984 syn. nov. Lectotypes are designated for A.fulvus Chûjô, 1938 and Dercestraabdominalis Chûjô, 1962. Color polymorphism of each species is delimited base on more than 1800 specimens.

Revision of the genus Paridea Baly, 1886 from Taiwan (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae).

Project description:The Taiwanese species of the genus Paridea Baly, 1886, are revised. Two new species, Paridea (Semacia) houjayi sp. n. and P. (S.) kaoi sp. n. are described. Both were confused previously with P. (S.) sexmaculata (Laboissière, 1930) and P. (S.) angulicollis (Motschulsky, 1854) respectively. Paridea (P.) sauteri (Chûjô, 1935) and P. (P.) taiwana (Chûjô, 1935) are removed from synonymy with P. (P.) sinensis Laboissière, 1930. The synonymy of Paraulaca flavipennis Chûjô, 1935 with Paridea (Paridea) testacea Gressitt & Kimoto, 1963 is supported. Paridea (Semacia) nigrimarginata Yang, 1991 is regarded as a junior synonym of P. (S.) angulicollis and excluded from the Taiwan fauna. Lectotypes are designated for Paraulaca costata Chûjô, 1935, P. flavipennis Chûjô, 1935, P. taiwana Chûjô, 1935, Semacia nipponensis Laboissière, 1930, and Paridea sinensis Laboissière, 1930.

Project description:Taxonomic study of species of the genus Monolepta Chevrolat, 1836 with subscutellar incised ridges in males and occurring in Taiwan resulted in the transfer of all species to Paleosepharia Laboissière, 1936: P. amiana (Chûjô, 1962), comb. n., P. formosana (Chûjô, 1935), comb. n., P. nantouensis (Kimoto, 1996) comb. n., and P. yasumatsui (Kimoto, 1969), comb. n. The position of M. excavata Chûjô, 1938 in Paleosepharia is confirmed. Lectotypes are designated for M. excavata Chûjô, 1938 and M. formosana Chûjô, 1935. Generic characters of Paleosepharia are re-evaluated in the context of these nomenclatural changes.

The genus Lochmaea Weise, 1883 in Taiwan: results of taxonomic expeditions by citizen scientists (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Galerucinae).

Project description:More than 520 specimens of the chrysomelid genus Lochmaea were available for study as the result of collecting efforts by citizen scientists. Taiwanese species of Lochmaea can be separated into two species groups based on presence or absence of hind wings. The Lochmaealesagei group (winged) contains L.lesagei Kimoto, 1996 and L.tsoui sp. n. The L.smetanai group (wingless) contains L.smetanai Kimoto, 1996, L.cheni sp. n., and L.jungchani sp. n. Members of the L.smetanai group inhabit alpine microhabitats and are the only wingless galerucines in Taiwan that occur in harsh environments, as is the case with most brachelytrous Chrysomelidae.
