E-mail: agk@zin.ru Abstract - A list of 82 species of sap beetles (Nitidulidae) collected in Taiwan is published with comments on their distribution. Taenioncus cylindricus (MURRAY, 1864), Carpophilus (Carpophilus) indicus HlSAMATSU, 1963, Amphicrossus lewisi REITTER, 1873, Meligethes (Meligethes) pectoralis REBMANN, 1956, Phenolia (Lasiodites) monticola (GROUVELLE, 1910), Physoronia schneiden JELINEK, 1999, Aethina (Aethina) inconspicua NAKANE, 1967 and Cyllodes nakanei HlSAMATSU, 1961 are first recorded from this island. Epuraea (?Epuraea) superlata sp. n., Epuraea (Micruria) spiculata sp. n., Amphicrossus hirtus sp. n. [also from Thailand, Malaysia (Borneo), Brunei, Indonesia (Sulawesi), Philippines (Palawan)l, Amphicrossus lobanovi sp. n. (also from mountain parts of North India, Nepal, Indochina, Philippines, Malaysia and northern islands of Indonesia), Amphicrossus opinatus sp. n. (also from Laos and Vietnam), Meligethes (Meligethes) zakharenkoi sp. n., Soronia merkli sp. n., Cyllodespseudoliteratus sp. n. and Cyllodes scriptum sp. n. are described from Taiwan. The following further species are also described: Amphicrossus angusticlavis sp. n. from Malaysia (Borneo) and Indonesia (Mentawei), Amphicrossus factus sp. n. from Malaysia (Perak), Amphicrossus montanus sp. n. from India (Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh), Amphicrossus murrayi sp. n. from Malaysia (Sarawak), Amphicrossus nebulosus sp. n. from Philippines (Mindanao), Amphicrossus solodovnikovae sp. n. from Myanmar (Burma) and Amphicrossus triparcus sp. n. from continental China (Shanghai). A key to the Indo-Malayan species of Amphicrossus ERICHSON, 1843, whose males bear a pair of paramedial brushes at the elytral suture, is given. Brachypeplus (Brachypeplus) amplicorpulentus KlREJSTHUK, 2005 is proposed for Brachypeplus (Brachypeplus) amplus KlREJTSHUK, 2001, non GROUVELLE, 1914 is proposed. New synonymies: Carpophilus (Ecnomorphus) acutangulus REITTER, 1884 = C. (E.) cingulatus REITTER, 1884, syn. x\:Jpidia (Hemipidia) sjoebergi lELÍNEK, 1978 = /. (H.) chujoi HlSAMATSU, 1982, syn. n. = /. (H.) kinabalensis HlSAMATSU, 1982, syn. n. = /. (H.) krikkeni HlSAMATSU, 1982, syn. n.; Tricanus nigripennis REITTER, 1873 = T. punctatissimus GROUVELLE, 1892, syn. n. = T. sauteri GROUVELLE, 1914, syn. n.; Brachypeplus (Brachypeplus) amplus GROUVELLE, 1914 = B. (B.) latus MURRAY, 1864, syn. n.; Brachypeplus (Sells) apicalis MURRAY, 1864 = B. (S.) caudalis MURRAY, 1864, syn. n. = ß. (S.) dor salis GROUVELLE, 1897, syn. n. The name Amystrops GROUVELLE, 1906 is proposed for the preoccupied senior synonym Propetes REITTER, 1875, non WALKER, 1851. Lectotypes for Carpophilus (Ecnomorphus) cingulatus, Cyllodes variegatus GROUVELLE, 1897, Tricanus nigripennis, T. punctatissimus, T. sauteri, Brachypeplus (Brachypeplus) amplus, B. (Selis) apicalis, B. (S.) caudalis and B. (S.) dorsalis are designated. With 156 figures.
