Psilidae View in CoL View at ENA

Altogether 25 psilid specimens were captured during our recent collection trips. SAUTER’ s specimens (30) were found among the “indet.” material of the Psilidae in the HNHM and it was not easy to clear some specimen’s identification, as KERTÉSZ made originally.

Chyliza elegans HENDEL, 1913 1 male: Formosa Toyenmongai – [KERTÉSZ’ s handwriting] “ Chyliza n.sp. 1” ; 3 females: Formosa Sauter – Tainan 1912. V./ Tapani 1911 III. / Chip Chip 909. III. found for the first time in our material .

Chyliza fumipennis HENDEL, 1913 – 1 male: Taipei, Nanshih Chiao , Han-Lo-Da, S of Taipei, 450 m, rocky forest undergrowth, October 10, 2000, leg. L. PAPP & L. RONKAY, No. 21.

Chyliza selecta OSTEN SACKEN, 1913 – 4 males 3 female: Formosa Toyenmongai (on 1 male: “ Chyliza n. sp. 2 ( ? selecta O.S.)” [KERTÉSZ’ s handwriting], on 1 female: “ Chyliza n. sp. 2”); 1 male: Formosa Sauter – Kosempo 1912. V. This species is new to Taiwan (cf. LIN & CHEN 1999).

Chyliza selectoides HENNIG, 1940 View in CoL 1 male: Formosa Sauter – Kankau 1912. VIII. – “ Chyliza elegans Hend. View in CoL det Kert.” ; 1 male: Takao 300 m . 1907. VI. 21.; 1 male: Formosa Toyenmongai – “ Chyliza amaranthi Meij. Hinterkopf View in CoL des [illegible] Exemplares unten ganz hell” [KERTÉSZ’ s handwriting]. Of course, KERTÉSZ could not correctly identify this species, which was described by W. HENNIG three decades later .

Chyliza sp. 3 males, 1 female: Formosa Sauter : 1 male, 1 female: Mt Hoozan 1910. V ./VIII.; 1 male: Taihorin, 1911. VII .; 1 male: Toyenmongai. This species with its peculiar wing pattern is obviously an undescribed one. However, it will be better to describe any new species of the Oriental Chyliza View in CoL in a revision only .

Chamaepsila sp. aff. rosae (FABRICIUS, 1794) 1 male, 1 female: Kaohsiung Hsien , Liukuei, Shan-Ping LTER Site , along a creek, April 3, 2003, No. 19, leg. L. PAPP & M. FÖLDVÁRI; 2 females: Taichung Hsien , Anmashan Mts, 1800 m, N 24°14’28.9” E 120°56’45.8”, in a dry creek bed, April 5, 2003, No. 20, leg. L. PAPP & M. FÖLDVÁRI; 1 male, 2 females: ibid., UV light traps, 2090–2550 m, April 5–6, No. 23, leg. M. FÖLDVÁRI, L. PAPP , CH.-M. FU & H.-R. TZUOO. 2 females: County Taipei , Pi Hu, 450 m, 24°54’02”N 121°45’27” E, 30.III.2000, leg. L. PEREGOVITS GoogleMaps & A. KUN. This species keys out readily and quickly to Ch. rosae in SHATALKIN’ s (1986) large key. However, a comparison of the male genitalia has revealed that they are not closely related. This must be a species new to science.

Chamaepsila sp. aff. mixta (SOÓS, 1974) – 1 male: Hualien county, Taroko National Park, at sacred Pilu tree – 24°14.7’N, 121°24.14’E, 2000 m, 10.IV.2002, leg. GY. FÁBIÁN. This specimen keys out easily to Ch. mixta (SOÓS) in SHATALKIN’ s (1986) key. Also this is in all probability a new, undescribed species.

Loxocera formosana HENNIG, 1940 View in CoL – 1 male: Ilan Hsien, Fu-Shan LTER Site, along/over a small river, March 27, 2003, leg. L. PAPP, No. 8.

Loxocera maculipennis HENDEL, 1913 View in CoL – 1 female: Nantou Hsien, Shuili , forest undergrowth, September 30, 2000, No. 12, leg. L. PAPP; 2 males: No. 7: Taipei Hsien, Fu-Shan LTER Site , lake shore, UV light, March 25–28, 2003, No. 7, leg. M. FÖLDVÁRI & L. PAPP ; 1 female: Ilan Hsien, Fu-Shan LTER Site , along/over a small river, March 27, 2003, No. 8, leg. L. PAPP ; 3 males, 2 females: Kaohsiung Hsien, Liukuei, Shan-Ping LTER Site , creek valley, March 31–April 1, 2003, No. 13, leg. L. PAPP & M.

PAPP ; 1 female: Taichung Hsien, Anmashan Mts , 1800 m, N 24°14’28.9” E 120°56’45.8”, in a dry creek bed, April 5, 2003, No. 20, leg. L. PAPP & M. FÖLDVÁRI; 1 male: Taipei Hsien, Pinling, over/along Jinggualiao river , 319m, April 17, 2003, No. 27, leg. L. PAPP . 5 males 7 females: Formosa Sauter – “maculipennis Hend. View in CoL ” det.
