Kirejsthuk, A. G.: On the fauna of Nitidulidae (Insecta, Coleoptera) from Taiwan with some taxonomical notes
the most common among the members of this subfamily, which are transported with stored products of plant origin (mostly decaying fruits). Epuraea (Haptoncus) ocularis FAIRMAIRE, 1849 Specimens examined - "Kaohsiung county, Shanping Forest Recreation area, near Liukuei","22°58' 16"N, 120°41' 15"E, at light, 19-21.XI.2002, L. Ronkay & O. Merkl" (2, HNHM); "Kaohsiung Hsien, near Liukuei, Shanping LTER Site","UV light trap, 1.IV. 2002, L. Papp & M. Földvári" (1, HNHM); "Han county, Fushan Botanical Garden, 700 m", "at light, 25-27.XI.2000, L. Papp, L. Ronkay & L. Peregovits" (1, HNHM); "Nantou county, Mong Gwu, 14 km E of Puli, 24°1.367' N, 121°5.063'E", "850 m, swept from vegetation, 20.IV.2002, D. A. Anstine, Gy. Fábián &0. Merkl" (1, HNHM). Distribution - Quite characteristic for the areas with tropical and subtropical climate of the Eastern Hemisphere (HlSAMATSU 1985, KlREJTSHUK 1992, 1998). As other species of the subgenus it is frequently transported with stored products of plant origin. Epuraea (Haptoncurina) motschulskyi REITTER, 1873 Specimen examined - "Kaohsiung county, Shanping Forest Recreation area, near Liukuei","22°58' 16"N, 120°41' 15"E, at light, 19-21 .XI.2002, L. Ronkay & O. Merkl" (6, HNHM). Distribution - GROUVELLE (1914: 41) recorded this species from "Kosempo". Quite common in the regions with tropical and subtropical climate in Asia, Africa, Madagascar, Seychelles, insular part of the Indo-Malayan Region (including Papuan Province), and also Australian and Polynesian Regions (HlSAMATSU 1985, KlREJTSHUK 1992, 1998). It can be transported with stored products of plant origin. Epuraea (Haptoncurina) paulula REITTER, 1873 Distribution - GROUVELLE (1914: 41) recorded this species from "Kosempo". This species is known from Japan and also from Eastern and Southern China (HlSAMATSU 1985, KlREJTSHUK 1998) and, therefore, the occurrence of it in Taiwan is quite probable (although no specimen from this island has been studied by the author). Epuraea (Haptoncurina) sp. Specimen examined - "Taipei city, Guanyinshan, 500 m, singled & swept, 15.XI. 2002, O. Merkl" (1 female, HNHM). Remarks - This specimen is somewhat more robust and with more shining dorsum than that in E. (H.) motschulskyi.
