Abstract

The genera Agelosus Sharp, 1889 and Apecholinus Bernhauer, 1933 from Taiwan are treated. Agelosus auricomus sp. nov., the only representative of the genus in Taiwan, is described as new. Two species, Apecholinus imitator sp. nov. and Apecholinus canifer sp. nov., are described as new and the presence of Apecholinus fraternus (Fairmaire, 1891) in Taiwan is confirmed by additional records. A key to genera and species is presented.
