Remarks.

Breuning (1956) treated Glenea diversenotata Schwarzer as a subspecies of Glenea tonkinea Aurivillius, 1925. The first author examined a photograph of the holotype of Glenea diversenotata Schwarzer, 1925 (taken by Nobuo Ohbayashi, Japan) and a photograph of a live specimen matching it from Taiwan (taken by Yu-Long Lin, Taiwan). Our study of these additional materials necessitates a new synonymy of Glenea neohumerosa Lin & Yang, 2011. We can find no morphological differences to maintain them as separate species. Likewise, our examination of the types of Glenea diversenotata and Glenea tonkinea leads us to review the taxonomic position of them since Breuning (1956) that Glenea diversenotata is a subspecies of Glenea tonkinea . We can find no morphological support for that treatment by Breuning. They are easily separated from each other by the following characters - Glenea tonkinea : vertex and occiput of the head with two separate, longitudinal vittae of white pubescence; white elytral maculae more slender and transverse; outer, basal, white, elytral maculae anterolaterally positioned relative to the larger, basal, sutural maculae; outer apical spine of elytra weakly produced; - Glenea diversenotata : vertex and occiput with vittae partially fused, not separate; white elytral maculae more rounded; outer basal elytral maculae parallel with the larger, basal, sutural maculae; outer apical spine of elytra pronounced.

Distribution.

China (Fujian, Taiwan, Hainan, Guangxi); Vietnam (Tonkin).

Additional specimens examined ( Lin and Yang 2011).

Holotype, female (Figs 9a, 9b), Formosa, Kosempo,1912.VI.7, leg. H. Sauter (SDEI); 1 male, Taiwan, Pingdong County, Mt. Dahanshan, 2010. VIII.29, leg. Yu-Long Lin & Wenhsin Lin (examined through a live picture, specimen is deposited in private collection of Yu-Long Lin, Taiwan).

Biological notes.

A larva (Fig. 4), two pupae (Fig. 5) and two adults (Fig. 6) were extracted from a large, decomposing log (Figs 2-3) found from a creek valley in a broad-leaved evergreen forest (Fig. 1) in 23 April, 2010 (according to personal communication with Zi-Wei Yin, in December, 2013). The stream is located in Hainan, Lingshui County, Diaoluoshan, ca. 935 m, 18°43'36"N, 100°52'14"E. The fresh emerged adults (Fig. 6) have the pubescence white which becomes yellow afterwards (Figs 7-8), and becoming white again after pinned and dried.
