Abstract:

    The Taiwanese species of Apophylia Thomson are reviewed. Four species are redescribed: A. asahinai Chûjô, 1962; A. beeneni Bezd?k, 2003; A. miyamotoi Kimoto, 1969; and A. velai Bezd?k, 2003. Two new synonyms are proposed: A. taiwanica Bezd?k, 2003 as a junior synonym of A. asahinai Chûjô, 1962; and A. kaoi Bezd?k and Lee, 2009 as a junior synonym of A. velai Bezd?k, 2003. Diagnostic characters of both sexes are illustrated. Occurrence of sibling species of chrysomelids in Taiwan is briefly discussed.
