HNHM, ZISP); "Nantou Prov, Huisun Forest Area, 15 km N of Puli", "500 m, at light, 12-13.IV. 1997, G. Csorba & L. Ronkay" (1 paratype, female, HNHM). See the description below. Epuraea (Micruria) sp. Specimens examined - "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 & O. Merkl" (1 male, HNHM). Remarks - This specimen belongs to an undescribed species, closely related to E. (M.) subtilis GROUVELLE, 1894. Amy strops nigripennis (REDTENBACHER, 1863) Distribution - GROUVELLE (1914: 38-39) recorded this species from "Kosempo" under names "Amystrops epuraeoides" and "Amystrops formosianus" , which were synonymized by KlREJTSHUK (1998: 302). Occurs in the most part of the Indo-Malayan region and eastern part of East Chinese (Palaearchearctic) province: India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma), Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan (Ryukyus), Indonesia (Lombok) (HlSAMATSU 1985, KlREJTSHUK 1998). Trimenus parallelopipedus (MOTSCHULSKY, 1863) 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" (1, HNHM). Distribution - GROUVELLE (1914: 38) recorded this species from "Kosempo" and "Taihorin". Its range scopes the Indo-Malayan Region, including Papuan Province, East Chinese (Palaeoarche­arctic) Province of the Palaearctic Region and northern Australia (Queensland) (KlREJTSHUK 1992, 1998). Taenioncus cylindricus (MURRAY, 1864) Specimen examined - "Pingtung Hsien, Kenting Nat.P., Botanical Garden", "4-6.X. 2000, L. Papp, L. Ronkay & L. Peregovits" (1, HNHM). Distribution - First record from Taiwan. However, the HlSAMATSU's mention of Taiwan for distribution of "Carpophilus tenuis" (HlSAMATSU 1985: 179) can be interpreted as a record for "7". cylindricus", because"T. cylindricus (MURRAY, 1864)" and "T. tenuis (MURRAY, 1864)" are distin­guished only by their colouration and sculpture of the integument (KlREJTSHUK 1998) and could in reality represent only varieties of the same species. It is a rather common species, mostly in the Indo-Malayan and Australian Regions, including Papuan Province, East Chinese (Palaeoarchearctic)
