Subfamily Criocerinae
Lilioceris neytis (Weise, 1922)
=LiZioceris ne$tis fomzosu~za Heinze, 1943, Stett. Ent. Ztg. 10 1: 102 (Formosa).
=Liiioceris impressa : Chtijo, 1951, Techn. Bull. Kagawa Agr. Coll. 2 (2) : 89
(Formosa).
Specimens examined: 9 exs., Taihorin. 2 exs., Hoozan.
As far as I examined, I could not find any specimens of impwssa Fabricius
among many LiZi~cc~*is specimens from Taiwan. I believe that the records of
ilrzpressa from Taiwan should be referred as jz@tis Weise.
Subfamily Clytrinae
S p e c i m e n e x a m i n e d : 1 ex., IIoozan.
Beside the Taiwan specimen
cited above, I examined several
specimens taken from Taiwan.
After the careful examination, I
came to the conclusion that the
species described under the name

i d e n t i c a l w i t h Swamgdiaza uipbo]E-
cnsis ChGjG d e s c r i b e d f r o m J a p a n .
Gressitt and Kimoto recorded the
species from E. China as ~zipponemis
in 1961, and corrected this record
as flavimana in 1963. Also Nakane
and Kimoto, 1961, recorded nippoz-
emis from the Ryukyu Archipelago.
Thus, the species distributes widely
in the Far East, viz. Japan, E.
China, the Ryukyu Archipelago and Fig. 1. Male genitalia of Smamgdim
Taiwan. octomaculata (Chujo).
Subfamily Cryptocephalinae
Subfamily Chlamisinae
Chlamisus nigripes Chujo, 1940
Specimen examined: 1 ex., Fuhoshow.
This species is closely resembling iderjectus (Baly) (=cirsicolorn Chcijo), but
separable in having ridges of pronotum generally sharp, especially on lateral
ridges of a pair of circular dorsal ones.
Subfamily Eumolpinae
Abirus fortuneii (Baly, 1861)
Specimens examined : 23 exs., Hoozan. 9 exs., Taihorin.

Subfamily Alticinae
Altica cyanea (Weber, MU)
Specimens examined : 3 exs., Kagi. 1 ex., Taihorin.
Subfamily Cassidinae
This species has been treated as an independent species. I would like to treat
this as a subspecies of birmnosn which distributes widely in the Far East. The
Chinese and Japanese populations represent different subspecies, biramosn
chinensis and biramosa japonica, respectively.
