Kirejsthuk, A. G.: On the fauna of Nitidulidae (Insecta, Coleoptera) from Taiwan with some taxonomical notes

Carpophilus (Megacarpolus) triton MURRAY, 1864 Distribution - HlSAMATSU (1985: 180) recorded this species from Taiwan under the name "Carpophilus titanus", synonymised by KlREJTSHUK (1992). It is also known from the Amur Region, Primorsky and Khabarovsky Krays, Sakhalin, Kuriles, Japan (HlSAMATSU 1985, KlREJTSHUK, unpublished). Carpophilus (Myothorax) contingens (WALKER, 1858) Distribution - GROUVELLE (1914: 38) recorded this species from "Anping". It seems to have a subcosmopolitan range in stored products, but in natural localities it occurs in Nepal, India (including Andaman Islands), Indonesia (Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Moluccas), Myanmar (Burma), Malaysia (Malacca), Singapore, Sri Lanka, Philippines (Leyte, Mindanao), Papua New Guinea, Japan, Afro-Madagascarean, Australian and Polynesian regions (HlSAMATSU 1985, KlREJTSHUK, unpublished). Carpophilus (Myothorax) mutilatus ERICHSON, 1843 Specimen examined - "Tainan, Formosa, H. Sauter" ( 1 female, ZMB) (named by GROUVELLE). Distribution - This species has a subcosmopolitan range in different stored products of plant origin, but in natural localities it is mostly subpantropical (HlSAMATSU 1985, KlREJTSHUK 1992, unpublished) and probably with an original range in the Eastern Hemisphere (most likely in the Indo-Malayan region). Carpophilus (Myothorax) pilosellus MOTSCHULSKY, 1858 Specimen examined - "Formosa, Sauter", "Taihanroku, 908" (1, HNHM) (named by O. SJÖBERG as C. dimidiatus and J. JELÍNEK as C. pilosellus). Distribution - GROUVELLE (1914: 38) recorded this species from "Anping". As the previous species it seems to be also subcosmopolitan, occurring in different stored products, although in natural localities it is subpantropical (or more characteristic of the Indo-Malayan region) (HlSAMATSU 1985, KlREJTSHUK, unpublished). Carpophilus (Myothorax) schioedtei MURRAY, 1864 Specimen examined - "Tainan, Formosa, 1911, H. Sauter", "22.VII", "Carpophilus dimidiatus F.", "det. Grouvelle" (1, ZMB). Distribution - GROUVELLE (1914: 38) mentioned C. dimidiatus from "Tainan" and "Anping". This species is known also from Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, India (including Andaman and Nicobar Islands), Malaysia (Borneo), Indonesia (Sumatra, Lombok, Irian Jaya), Philippines (Leyte, Luzon,
