Abstract:

    Leptispa abdominalis Baly, 1858, formerly known from China and Vietnam, is recorded from Kinmen Island. The species is redescribed, and illustrations of diagnostic characters are provided, including pronotum, aedeagus, gonocoxae, and spermatheca. Adults and larvae of this species construct leaf-rolls on Bambusa similar to those of L. pygmaea Baly.
