Carpelimus (s.str.) tener ( Bernhauer, 1902)

Type material examined: 4 males, 8 specimens “ TAIWAN: T’ai-tung Hsien (Dist.), Taiguan , Tung-ho , elev. ca 100m, 1-IX-1972 ” “ black light trap, F.J. Santana ” ( FMNH; 2 males – cMG) ; 1 female, 2 specimens “ TAIWAN: Shih-nan, Peiyuan, Tungho , Taitung Co. , 2-IX-1972 ” “ black light trap. F. J. Santana ” ( FMNH) ; 2 specimens “ TAIWAN: T’ai-tung Hsien (Dist.), Shih-nan , Peiyuan , Tungho , elev.ca 200m, 2-IX-1972 ” “ black light trap. F. J. Santana ” ( FMNH; 1 specimen – cMG) .

Remarks. The species is described ( Bernhauer, 1902) from Kazakhstan (Aulie Ata). According to the catalogue of Smetana (2004), it is known from Egypt, Iran, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. The species is known from Morocco, Egypt, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Tad jik is tan, Tu r k men is tan, U zb ek is tan; Afghanistan, Pakistan, China (Shandong) ( Gildenkov, 2001, 2009, 2012). C. tener is here reported for Taiwan and Oriental region for the first time.

[ Carpelimus (s. str.) vagus (Sharp, 1889) ]

Cameron, 1949: 461

Remarks. According to the catalogue of Smetana (2004), it is known from China (Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Jilin, Liaoning), Korea and Japan (see also Gildenkov, 2001, 2003). Recently it was recorded (our data) from China (Liaoning). The presence of C. vagus in Taiwan is questionably. This species is very similar with C. indicus and C. biimpressus , with which it can be misidentified.

Remarks. The lectotype of Trogophloeus (Troginus) formosanus was designated from Taiwan (Gildenkov, 2013). The species is widely distributed in the Oriental region (our data): India, Indonesia (Borneo, Sumatra, Java), Japan (Okinawa), Cambodia, Malaysia (including Borneo), Nepal, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam. Recently it was recorded ( Gildenkov, 2014b) from China (Guangdong, Guizhou, Hongkong, Hubei, Hunan, Yunnan, Zhejiang). C. atomus is known from the tropical Africa: Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burundi, Cameroon, the Central-African Republic, Congo, Cote d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Madagascar, Mauritius, Namibia, Nigeria, the Republic of South Africa, Ruanda, Senegal, Seychelles islands, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe ( Gildenkov, 2007b, 2007c). Besides that, the species is many times was recorded from the Palaearctic: Cyprus, Syria ( Gusarov, 1997), Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia ( Gusarov, 1997, 2001, 2003a, 2003b, 2009a), Iraq ( Gildenkov, 2001, 2003a, 2003b), China (Hebei), Japan, South Korea (Gildenkov (as formosanus ), 2001, 2003a, 2003b), Morocco (Gildenkov (as maroccanus), 2001, 2003a, 2003b), Turkey ( Gildenkov, 2007b, 2007c), Afghanistan ( Gildenkov, 2009a), Pakistan ( Gildenkov, 2012) and China (Hebei, N-Sichuan, Peking, Shaanxi) ( Gildenkov, 2014b). Recently it was recorded (our data) from Canary islands, Malta, Madiera, Spain, Tunis. Such distribution confirms the species more likely to belong to the fauna of tropical Africa and Oriental area, than to the fauna of Palaearctic.

[ Carpelimus (Trogophloeus) globicollis globicollis (Eppelsheim, 1885) ]

Bernhauer, 1922: 222

Remarks. The lectotype was designated from Ghana ( Gildenkov, 2013a). It is well-known only from Tropical Africa ( Gildenkov, 2013a): Gambia, Ghana, Senegal. The record of the species by Bernhauer (1922) for Taiwan is erroneous (see also Remarks for C. pseudosimplex below).
