Material examined - 1 male. Taiwan: Nantou County, Tayuling, 24°10'72"N, 121°18'39"E, 2750 m, at light, 9.IV.2002, GY. FÁBIÁN. Tribe Ampedini GlSTEL, 1856 Ampedus kuangtangi sp. n. (Fig. 8) Material examined - Holotype female: Taiwan: Nantou County, Tatachia, 23. XL 2002, WEN KUANG-TANG (HNHM). Description - Female. Very shiny; entirely piceous black, except for the last tarsomere and claws reddish; covered with sparse, semierect to erect, particularly on the sides of the body, blackish, vestiture (Fig. 8). Frons very convex from vertex to anterior margin, the latter obsolete at middle and reaching the part inferior of clypeus; punctures very variable in size and density, with shortest interspaces to sparser, simple to umbilicate. Antennae reaching the apices of posterior angles of pronotum, serrate from fourth antennomere; second antennomere globose, as long as broad; third subconical, about half longer than second, less than twice longer than broad and as long as fourth; fourth to seventh triangular, less than twice longer than broad; eighth to tenth slender, about twice longer than broad; last antennomere a little longer than penultimate, ellipsoidal. Pronotum 1.2 times broader than long, widest at hind angles; very convex, abruptly sloping at sides and base, without trace of midlongitudinal furrow; sides arcuate, in anterior third rather abruptly narrowing before anterior margin; from middle to posterior angles gently sinuate; posterior angles with a very low, just traced carina, not divergent at apex; punctation very irregular, with punctures variable in size and density, simple or slightly umbilicate, on disk extremely sparser, with interspaces variable, larger than one to three or more times than puncture diameters; lateral margins complete, and nearly all apparent in dorsal view. Scutellum elongate, scarcely sinuate at sides in the first half, finely punctured. Elytra as broad as pronotum at base, very elongate, 3.3 times longer than pronotum; sides gradually and regularly tapering from base to apex; striae very shallow and impunctate at base, then gradually impressed and punctured; interstriae flat with finer and sparser punctures. Prosternai process clearly emarginate at apex. Size. Length 8.3 mm; width 2.25. Male unknown. Etymology - The species is dedicated to its collector, WEN KUANG-TANG.
