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

Notes - Differential diagnoses presented in the original descriptions of P. cariniprinceps and P. wulaiana compared these species with Paramaladera major NOMURA, 1974 and P. rufofusca NOMURA, 1974, respectively. Although male genitalia of the unique types of each species were extremely similar, no notes were made to distinguish between the two species. The discriminative characters given by YU et al. (1998) are very variable, consequently the taxa are regarded as syn­onyms. Cephaloserica (?) parva MOSER (Figs 12-13) Cephaloserica parva MOSER, 1908: 326. Cephaloserica kojimai MlYAKE, 1991: 9, syn. n. Type material examined - Lectotype (here designated): S "Central Tonkin Chiem-Hoa Aug. Sept. H. Fruhstorfer/ parva Mos." (ZMHB). Paralectotypes: 3 SS, 2 $$ "Central Tonkin Chiem-Hoa Aug. Sept. H. Fruhstorfer" (ZMHB). Paratypes (kojimai): 2 $9 "Guan dao Xi Taiwan 3I.V. 1973 K.
