Abstract:

Asiophrida Medvedev and Podontia Dalman belonging to the Blepharida-genus group could be found in Taiwan. Asiophrida scaphoides (Baly) and A. spectabilis (Baly) are redescribed and the illustrations of the penises, gonocoxae, spermathecae, abdominal ventrites VIII in females, and tarsomres I−III and the abdominal ventrites V of both sexes are provided. Detailed biological information, including larval and adult feeding behaviors, host plants, and life cycles is provided. Lectotypes are designated for Podontia scaphoides Baly, 1865, Ophrida binduta Maulik, 1926, and P. spectabilis Baly, 1862.
