Bembidion (Trichoplataphus) miwai Jedlička, 1946

( Figs. 6 , 21 )

Bembidion (Trichoplataphus) miwai Jedlička, 1946: 2 .

Bembidion (Trichoplataphus) miwai: JEDLIČKA (1965) : 116; MARGGI et al. (2003): 271; LORENZ (1998): 211; LORENZ (2005): 227.

Bembidion miwai: TERADA et al. (2005) :170; TERADA (2006): 12.

Type material examined. HOLOTYPE: J, ‘ TAIWAN / Raisya / 24-XI-1934 / S. Issiki // TYPUS (red) // Mus. Nat. Pragae / 23964 Inv. (orange) // miwai / sp.n. [handwritten] / DET. ING. JEDLIČKA [pink]’ ( NMPC).

Additional material examined. TAIWAN: Near Mt. Ari, Takesari , 24.xi.1937, Y. Yano lgt. (‘ Yano 7.20, miwai Jedl. Typo collatum det. Netolitzky [handwritten]’), 1 J ( NHMW) ; Kungliao, Taipei Hsien , 18.ii.2002, Terada lgt., 1 J ( CTVR) ; Kao Hsiung, Co., 10–11 km NE Chiahsen , ca. 300 m, 3.–8.vii.1980, forest, D. R. Davis lgt., 2 ♀♀ ( USNM, CTVR) .

Intraspecific variability. The type specimen and the specimen from NHMW ( Fig. 6 ) have lighter colours (entire body light reddish) in comparison to the other specimens listed here. The specimen from Kungliao is darker and has less convex and smaller eyes, but it seems conspecific in all the other characters; Fig. 21 shows the male genitalia of this specimen because the type specimen is immature and the other examined specimen ( NHMW) has the endophallus everted.

Distribution. Taiwan (Raisya, Takesari, Taipei Hsien, Kao Hsiung).
