Ahrens, D.: Notes on distribution and synonymy of sericid beetles of Taiwan, with descriptions of new species (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea: Melolonthidae)

1986,1989, MIYAKE et al. 1991,1994). Yu et al. (1998) gave a summarizing overview of Taiwanese Sericini with a ckecklist and a key for determination of genera and species. Although most species may be considered endemic to Taiwan, exact distributions of many species is very poorly known. During revisionary work with the Oriental and eastern Palearctic Sericini, interesting data concerning Taiwanese species have been accumulated and are presented in this paper. Included are several new synonymies revealed through review of type material and the descriptions of eight previously unknown species.
