Taiwan: Ilan County, Fu Shan Botanical Garden, 700 m, at light, 25-27.IX.2000, L. PAPP, L. RONKAY & L. PEREGOVITS (HNHM). Description of the male - The species was described from North Vietnam on the basis of a single female specimen. The male is very similar to female with antennae just longer, reaching the apices of posterior angles of pronotum; its size is smaller (length 15.3, width 4 mm). A very important character of this species (not published at the moment of description), unique in the genus Melanotus (s.str.) is the feeble emargination of the elytral apex. The particular shape of the parameres in the male genitalia (Fig. 47) also separates this species from all congeners. Remarks - New for Taiwan. Melanotus (Melanotus) lameyi FLEUTIAUX, 1918 Melanotus lameyi FLEUTIAUX, 1918: 238; PLATIA & SCHIMMEL 2001: 221. Material examined - 31 (22 males, 9 females).
