Neriidae

Fifteen specimens of three species were collected in the recent years but a higher number of specimens of two species from SAUTER’ s material are preserved here. The latter specimens were identified by the late ÁRPÁD SOÓS, but those data have not been published formerly.

Gymnonerius fuscus hendeli HENNIG, 1937 – 2 males, 5 females: Kaohsiung Hsien, Liukuei, Shan-Ping LTER Site, creek valley, March 31–April 1, 2003, No. 13, leg. L. PAPP & M. FÖLDVÁRI ; 2 females: ibid., over/along a creek, April 2–3, No. 15, leg. L. PAPP ; 1 female: ibid., along a creek (same as No. 18), April 3, No. 19, leg. L. PAPP & M. FÖLDVÁRI. Eighty nine males and 16 females identified as this species by Á. SOÓS from Chip Chip, Fuhosho, Kankau, Kosempo, Koshun, Mt. Hoozan, Pilam, Taihorin , Tainan .

Chaetonerius bimaculatus (EDWARDS, 1919) – 1 male: Taipei, Nanshih Chiao, Han-Lo-Da, S of Taipei, 450 m, along a small canal, October 13, 8 a.m., 2000, No. 24, leg. L. PAPP ; 1 male: ibid., on fruit baits, October 13, No. 25, leg. L. RONKAY . I identified them as this species with some doubt: a comparison with types would be needed. In any case, this genus is not new to Taiwan, since Ch. inermis (SCHINER, 1868) was formerly reported.

Telostylus decemnotatus HENDEL, 1913 – 2 females: Pingtung Hsien, Kenting, Heng-Chun Tropical Botanical Garden , light traps, October 4–6, 2000,

leg. L. PEREGOVITS & L. PAPP. 20 males and 14 females identified as such by ÁRPÁD SOÓS from Koshun (16 m 12 f), Kankau (1 m) and Fuhosho (3 m 2 f).
