Taiwanoserica chunlinlii sp. n. (Figs 4-6) Type material - Holotype: o* "Taiwan: Tai Chung Co. An Ma Shan, alt. 1800 m 2/VI/199I Collr. C. L. Li" (CA). Paratype: 1 $ - same data as holotype (CA). Description - Length: 9.0 mm, width: 4.8-5.1 mm, length of elytra: 6.3-6.7 mm. Body oblong, reddish brown, antenna and elytra yellow with dark spots, dorsal surface dull , except a few fine hairs on head and elytra almost glabrous. Labroclypeus transversely subtrapezoidal, widest at base, lateral margins straight and slightly convergent, anterior angles feebly rounded, margins weakly reflexed, anteriorly deeply but not widely sinuate medially; surface flat and dull in male, shiny in female, coarsely and densely punctate, with numerous fine erect hairs, some fine, bare punctures occur between the coarse punctures; frontoclypeal suture feebly incised and weakly curved; smooth area in front of eye approximately 1.5 times as wide as long; ocular canthus moderately long and very slender, with a few very fine punctures and a terminal hair. Frons with fine, moderately dense punctures partly vanishing under the thick dull cover. Eyes moderately large, ratio diameter/interocular width: 0.66 (cT), 0.58 ($). Antenna yellow, 10-segmented; club with three segments, in male 1.5 times as long as remaining segments together, in female a little shorter than remaining segments together. Mentum weakly elevated, anteriorly flattened. Pronotum transverse, widest in posterior third, lateral margins uniformly strongly curved, weakly narrowed to very strongly rounded posterior angles, more strongly narrowed in anterior half, anterior angles protruding and right-angled, moderately rounded at the tip, anterior margin medially with broad marginal line and strongly convexly produced; surface densely and finely punctate, punctures partly with extremely fine setae; anterior and lateral border setaceous. Scutellum slender, triangular, with fine and dense punctures, smooth medially in basal half. Elytra oblong, feebly widened posteriorly, striae finely impressed and finely and densely punctate, intervals flat, with very fine and sparsely scattered punctures concentrated along striae, intervals with few fine, moderately long, slender scale like hairs; epipleural edge fine, ending at strongly curved external apical angle of elytra, epipleura densely setaceous, apical border chitinous, covered with very short microtrichomes. Ventral surface dull, finely and not densely punctate, sparsely hairy, metacoxal plates laterally with a few long hairs; each abdominal sternite with a transversal row of coarse punctures bearing short hairs between fine and dense punctation. Mesosternum between mesocoxae half as wide as mesofemur. Ratio of length of metepisternum/ metacoxa: 1/1.39. Pygidium moderately convex, finely and densely punctate, without smooth midline, with few fine, long and dense hairs. Legs slender; femora with two longitudinal rows of hairs, finely and moderately densely punctate between the rows; metafemur shiny, anteriorly sharply edged, behind anterior edge with a continuously serrated line, posterior margin in apical half dorsally serrated, ventrally completely serrated, in basal half with a few long hairs. Metatibia slender and long, widest at apex, ratio of width/ length: 1/4.4, dorsally sharply edged, with two groups of spines, basal one behind middle, apical one at three-fourth of metatibial length, basally with four single hairs with punctures having a serrated margin; outside longitudinally convex, with moderately dense, fine punctures and glabrous; ventral edge with two widely separated fine hairs, basal one at one-fourth, apical one at three-fourth of metatibial length, inside sparsely scattered, finely punctate, apex interiorly near tarsal articulation shallowly concavely truncate. Tarsal segments dorsally shallowly and moderately densely punctate, ventrally with sparse, short setae; metatarsal segments laterally moderately edged and ventrally with
