Platia, G. ; Schimmel, R.: Click beetles of Taiwan collected by the expeditions of the Hungarian Natural History Museum in the years 1955 to 2003 (Coleoptera: Elateridae)

at middle, rather strongly tapering at posterior third; striae deeply punctured; interstriae flat, with very dense finer, double punctures forming regular rows. Wings as long as elytra. Bursa copulatrix sclerified as in Fig. 2. Size. Length 7.7 mm; width 2.8 mm. Male unknown. Etymology - The species is dedicated to one of its collectors, BÉLA HERCZIG (Research Station for Plant Protection and Soil Health, Komárom-Esztergom county, Tata, Hungary), lepidopterist, studying the fauna of Asia Minor and the Himalayan-Sino-Tibetan region. Comparative remarks - Among the Taiwanese species it can be compared with Agrypnus (Colaulon) shir akii (MATSUMURA, 1910), but can be separated by the darker colour, median anterior margin of pronotum not elevated above head, and sharp humeral angles. Morphologically it is more similar to the Japanese species A (Colaulon) hypnicola (KlSHII, 1964), but it is separated by the darker colour and not solded elytra.
