Abstract:

The genus Nipponaetes Uchida, 1933 was first reported from Taiwan, including two species: N. haeussleri (Uchida, 1933) and N. striatus Momoi, 1970. They were redescribed mainly based on the Taiwanese specimens, with special notes on the variations of the sculpture of metasomal tergite II. The species boundary between both species was also discussed based on extensive morphological and comparative study.
