Comment:

The original description of L. taiwanensetaiwanense is based on a single male holotype from "Mt. Hsiaohsüeh Shan, Ta-hsüeh Shan Mts., Taichung Hsien, Taiwan " ( WATANABE 1998). The type was not examined, but based on the details and the illustrations (habitus, male abdominal apex, aedeagus) provided by WATANABE (1998), there is little doubt that L. taiwanensetaiwanense is closely allied to the following species and that it refers in fact to the genus Lobrathium , not Lathrobium .

Lobrathium (subgenus?) spp.
