Mindanao), Hawaii (KlREJTSHUK, unpublished). It can be transported with stored products of plant origin (mostly decaying and dried fruits). Urophorus (Anophorus) foveicollis MURRAY, 1864 Specimens examined - "Taipei city, Hsing Nan Road, 4.IV. 2002, from rotting melon, Gy. Fábián & O. Merkl" (9, HNHM, ZISP); "S. Formosa, Gyamma, 4.6.1907, H. Sauter S.V." ( 1, ZMB); "Kosempo, Formosa, Sauter" (1, NMW). Distribution - HlSAMATSU (1985: 178) recorded this species from Taiwan. This species is quite common in the areas with tropical and subtropical climate of the Indo-Malayan, Madagascarean, Australian and Polynesian Regions, reaching Japan in the north and southern coast of Australia in the south (HlSAMATSU 1985, KlREJTSHUK 1992, unpublished). It can be transported with stored products of plant origin (mostly decaying and dried fruits). Urophorus (Anophorus) humeralis (FABRICIUS, 1801) Distribution - GROUVELLE (1914: 38) recorded this species from "Hokuto" and "Kosempo". It has a pantropical range in natural localities, but spreads through all over the world in different stored products of plant origin (mostly decaying and dried fruits). In many cases the previous references to this species from the Indo-Malayan Region indeed refer to the previous U. (A.) foveicollis. Subfamily Amphicrossinae Amphicrossus discolor ERICHSON, 1843 Specimens examined - "Formosa, (Hoosan) Hosan, V.10, Sauter S." (5, ZISP, ZMB). Distribution - The specimen named by GROUVELLE (1914: 42) as A. discolor and recorded "Alikang" has not been seen by the author and should be checked. However, the author studied specimens of this species from different localities of Taiwan. This species is recorded also from Myanmar (Burma), India (West Bengal, Assam, Darjeeling), Vietnam ("Annam") (GROUVELLE 1908), and also from Southern and Eastern China (KlREJTSHUK, unpublished). Amphicrossus hirtus sp. n. Specimen examined - "Taitung Prov., Hsiangyang, 2200 m, at light, 13. VI. 1997, B. Herczig & L. Ronkay" ( 1 paratype, HNHM).
