Dactylispa kaulina Gressitt, 1950: 118; Uhmann, 1964: 473(synonymy).
Typelocality. China, Guangdongprov., Lianping Co., Jiulianshan Mt., approx. 24°27.3′N, 114°33.8′E, 400–500 ma.s.l. Original typeseries. Holotype( LMHN) and unstated number of paratypesfrom Ta-chu-lan, Bohea Hills, Kienyang, and Wu-i (all in Fujian) deposited in LMNH, USNM, CAS, and coll. T.C. Maa). Typematerial examined.

Remarks. Gressitt (1950)compared this species to D.( Triplispa) pungens(Boheman, 1858)and Uhmann (1964)synonymized it with D.(s. str.) issikiiChûjô 1938. Dactylispa issikiis very characteristic as it is the only Chinese species in the nominotypical subgenus having anterior spines in triplets. The holotypeof D. kaulinahas positions and proportions of thoracic and elytral spines identical to D. issikiithus the synonymy is in our opinion correct.
