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

Distribution - GROUVELLE (1914: 42) recorded this species from "Fuhosho". This subspecies is more characteristic of the continental part of the range of the species (Assam, Indochina, Philippines) (KlREJTSHUK 1990, unpublished). Ipidia (Hemipidia) sjoebergi JELÍNEK, 1978 Ipidia chujoi HlSAMATSU, 1982, syn. n. Ipidia kinabalensis HlSAMATSU, 1982, syn. n. Ipidia krikkeni HlSAMATSU, 1982, syn. n. Specimens examined - "Nantou county, Kao-Leng Dyi, 18 km W of Wushe, 24°4.605'N, 121°7.583'E, 2 074 m", "from tee trunk at night, 18-19.IV.2002, D. A. Anstine, Gy. Fábián & O. Merkl" (6, HNHM, ZISP). Distribution - HlSAMATSU (1982: 55) recorded this species from "Kenting Park" and "Fengshihu". Known also from Nepal, India, Bhutan, Malaysia (Borneo) and Indonesia (Java) (JELÍNEK 1978, HlSAMATSU 1982, KlREJTSHUK, unpublished). Remarks - This species is quite widely distributed, but comparatively rare in collections. It shows considerable variability in its coloration, outline of patches on its dorsal sclerites and puncturation. The differences used in the key by HlSAMATSU ( 1982) should be considered as applicable for the extremes among varieties of the same species. Ipidia (Ipidia) variolosa REITTER, 1879 Specimens examined - "Han county, Fushan Botanical Garden, from gilled mushrooms, 8-11.IV.2002, O. Merkl" (7, HNHM, ZISP); "Formosa, Sauter", "Fuhosho, 908.VI" (1, HNHM), "Formosa, Sauter", "Fuhosho, 909.VIII" (7, HNHM); "Formosa, Sauter", "Kosempo, 908.VII" (2, HNHM); ); "Formosa, Sauter", "Kosempo, 908.IX" (1, HNHM); "Formosa, Sauter", "Alikang, 1909.V" (1, HNHM) (named by O. SJÖBERG); "Fuhosho", "Formosa, Sauter" (1, NMW). Distribution - GROUVELLE (1914:41) recorded this species from "Fuhosho", "Kosempo" and "Taihorin". It is rather common in the Russian Far East (Khabarovsky and Primorsky Krays, Sakhalin, Kuriles), Japan, Korea, Eastern and Southern China, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand and Vietnam (GROUVELLE 1908; HlSAMATSU 1985, KlREJTSHUK 1992, unpublished). Phenolia (Lasiodites) inaequalis (GROUVELLE, 1914) Distribution - GROUVELLE (1914: 42) recorded this species from "Kosempo". Later this species was found also in Nepal, Vietnam and Thailand (KlREJTSHUK, unpublished).
