CHRYSOMELIDAE (COLEOPTERA) OF THAILAND, CAMBODIA, LAOS AND VIETNAM. III. EUMOLPINAE

This second paper of a series treats another 5 subfamilies of Chrysomelidae covering 188 species in 36 genera. The keys treat 40 genera and 191 species. Relevant synonymies are presented for genera and species, as well as general and local distribution of species. Sixteen species are described as new and a number of species are newly recorded from the area or from individual countries. Thirty-one species and 2 genera are relegated to synonymy. A supplement to the previous installment relegates another species to synonymy. This paper is the second in a series attempting to cover the chrysomelid beetles from the Thai-Indochina area. This series represents a sequel to “Chrysomelidae (Coleopt.) of China and Korea” (Gressitt & Kimoto 1961, 1963), and should be used in conjunction with that monograph. This installment treats 5 subfamilies, as follows: Clytrinae (10 genera, 48 species, including 7 new species and 14 new synonymies); Cryptocephalinae (5 genera, 81 species, including 7 new species and 13 new synonymies); Chlamisinae (1 genus, 15 species); Lamprosomatinae (3 genera, 6 species); and Chrysomelinae (21 genera, 39 species, including 2 new species and 4 new synonymies). It also includes a supplement to the Megalopodinae (1 genus, 1 species and a new synonymy). Two genera are synonymized and there are several new combinations. Keys are presented to genera and species, including a few occurring just outside the area of treatment. Pertinent synonymies are presented, except that references under genera included in Gressitt & Kimoto (1961, 1963) are not repeated (other than original references and type designations). All known geographical records within the area, as well as general distribution for all the species treated, are also presented. A number of species are newly recorded from this general region, as well as a number new to individual countries. 1. For Part I see Kimoto & Gressitt, 1979, Pacific Insects 20(2-3): 191-256. 2.

The main sources are Bishop Museum collections including the large J. A. Rondon collection from Laos (Gressitt et al. 1970); collections from various Japan-United States scientific cooperation projects funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Japan Society for the Promotion of Culture, and the Ministry of Education of Japan; results of the rice stem-borer studies under the direction of Prof. K. Yasumatsu and Prof. Y. Hirashima; collections from Kasetsart University and the Thai Department of Agriculture, Bangkhen; collections of Zoologische Staatsammlung, Munchen, Basel Museum and Osaka Museum of Natural History; as well as private collections made by Dr Kintaro Baba and others.
