Abstract

Altica chingfui sp. nov. is described from Taiwan based on specimens misidentified as A. himalayensis Chen, with notes on its biology. Scanning electron microscope images of the male genitalia and illustration of female genitalia are provided. Records of Altica cyanea (Weber) and A. caerulea (Olivier) are based on misidentifications and are removed from the Taiwanese fauna.

Altica himalayensis (Chen) 的台灣紀錄是錯誤鑑定。本文以新種發表為高山藍葉蚤 Altica chingfui sp. nov.，雄性生殖器以掃描式電子顯微鏡拍照，雌性生殖器以針筆繪圖，並摘錄其生物學。深藍葉蚤之前被錯誤鑑定為A. cyanea (Weber)，正確有效名為A. aenea (Olivier)；緬甸藍葉蚤之前被錯誤鑑定為A. caerulea (Olivier)，正確有效名為A. birmanensis (Jacoby)。
