Abstract

Species within the genus Gallerucida Motschulsky recorded in Taiwan are revised. Gallerucida bifasciata Motschulsky, 1861, G. lutea Gressitt & Kimoto, 1963, G. sauteri Chujo, 1938, and G. shirozui Kimoto, 1969 are redescribed. Sphenoraia chujoi Lee, 2014 is proposed as a junior synonym of G. flaviventris (Baly, 1861). Gallerucida thoracica (Jacoby, 1888) is recorded as new for Taiwan and redescribed. Lecto-types are designated for Gallerucida nigrita Chujo, 1935, G. sauteri Chujo, 1938, and Eustetha thoracica Jacoby, 1888. Biological notes are given on all Taiwanese species of Gallerucida.
