Material examined - 1 female. Taiwan: Nantou County, Huisun Forest area, 15 km N of Puli, 500 m, at light, 12-13.IV.1997, G. CSORBA & L. RONKAY. Conoderus nigricollis (FLEUTIAUX, 1918), comb. n. Drasterius collaris CANDÈZE var. nigricollis FLEUTIAUX, 1918:212. Prodrasterius nigricollis FLEUTIAUX, 1918: FLEUTIAUX 1928: 138. Prodrasterius collaris taiwanus KlSHII, 1996b: 89; SUZUKI 1999: 74, syn. n. Material examined - 2 (male, female). Taiwan: Nantou County, Huisun Forest area, 15 km N of Puli, 500 m, at light, 12-13.IV.1997, G. CSORBA & L. RONKAY. Remarks - Described from Vietnam. PLATIA & GUDENZI (1997) in a revision of the Drasterius ESCHSCHOLTZ, 1829 of the Oriental Region came to the conclusion that Drasterius brahminus CAND ZE, 1859 was congeneric with Drasterius bimaculatus (ROSSI, 1790) (the type species of the genus), and stated that it was unjustified to consider D. brahminus as the type species of the genus Prodrasterius FLEUTIAUX, 1927. Provisionally, they considered Prodrasterius FLEUTIAUX, 1927 as a junior synonym of Conoderus ESCHSCHOLTZ, 1829, until a thorough revision would be disposable. In the same paper, after the examination of the type material the true identity of the species belonging to Drasterius ESCHSCHOLTZ, 1829 was clarified and their geographic distribution was defined. Among these species the distribution of Drasterius collaris CANDÈZE, 1859 was restricted to the Indian subregion from Pakistan to Assam. The opportunity to examine, in this paper, two specimens of Taiwan of the supposed Prodrasterius collaris taiwanus KlSHII, 1996, enable us to exclude Drasterius collaris CANDÈZE from the Taiwanese fauna and to determine this material as belonging to the Indochinese Conoderus nigricollis (FLEUTIAUX, 1918). Heteroderes changi OHIRA, 1967 Heteroderes changi OHIRA, 1967: 76; SUZUKI 1999: 76. Material examined - 6 males. Taiwan: (3) Taitung County, Chihpen, 390 m, 10-11. VI. 1997, B. HERCZIG & L.
