Remarks.

Gonioctena subgeminata tonkinensis (Chen, 1934) was synonymized with G. subgeminata (Chen, 1934) by Kimoto and Gressitt (1981). However, this name was removed from synonymy with G. subgeminata and raised to the species level by Cho and Borowiec (2016b). Several larvae were dissected from a female specimen; therefore, this species is ovoviviparous.
