Chinese names, synonyms, original references, type localities, type depositories and distributions are included. Cautires jengi Kasantsev was selected as the valid name according to the first reviser principle and C. yengi is invalid; Cladophorus certus Kleine is replaced by Cautires taiwanensis Jeng et Yang, nom. nov. Key words: Taiwan, Lycidae, checklist, new replacement name. there were 67 species in 22 genera recorded from Taiwan. Since then the The taxonomy of Lycidae of higher classification of Lycidae has Taiwan has been extensively studied undergone more frequent modifications, since the 1920s. Kleine (1926) was first and as a consequence, the taxonomy to review the Taiwanese lycid fauna and scientific names of lycids, from which included 30 species in 19 genera. family to species groups, have changed Miwa (1931) listed 18 genera and 32 considerably during the last two species of Lycidae in his catalogue of decades. Herein we provide the most Taiwanese beetles. Later Kôno (1932) updated checklist of Taiwanese Lycidae, reviewed the Japanese Lycidae in which and a total of 5 subfamilies, 20 genera 30 species in 17 genera were recorded and 74 species are recorded. from Taiwan. Kleine (1933), in Junk’s Coleopterorum Catalogus, listed 28 Material and Methods species in 17 genera from Taiwan. After the World War II, Nakane extensively In the checklist, Chinese names, studied Taiwanese Lycidae in the late original sources, synonyms, type localities, 1960s and early 1970s and raised the type depositories, and distributions are total species number to over 60.
