L. chaoi sp. n. is an easily recognisable species. It belongs to that speciesgroup of the true Lygistorrhina, where flagellomeres yellow-black patterned, namely L. cincticornis EDWARDS, 1926 (Borneo), L. pictipennis OKADA, 1937 (Japan), as well as L. legrandi MATILE, 1990 in the Afrotropical Region. The 5th to 8th and 11th to 13th flagellomeres are black in this new species, which separate it from the related ones. Also the male genitalia (tergite 9, gonostylus) bear distinctive features. Etymology -1 name this new species after Prof. Dr. JUNG-TAI CHAD, senior research scientist of the Division of Forest Protection, Taiwan Forestry Research Institute, for all his factual and mental support during our study and collecting trip to Taiwan in 2000. Acknowledgements - I would like to thank Dr ALBERT SZAPPANOS for the excellent habitus figure. REFERENCES BECHEV, D.
