(2016) and Taiwanese species by Lee (2018)) in possessing elongate antennomere III that is much longer than antennomere II (Fig. 3A, B) (both antennomeres subequal in length in Monolepta), the presence of a subscutellar impression or groove on the elytra in males (Fig. 2A-C) (absent in those of Monolepta). In addition, females of Atrachya share some genitalic characters with Paleosepharia, including only one pair of bursal sclerites (Fig. 3H), similar shapes of spermatheca (Fig. 3I) and gonocoxae (Fig. 3G). However, members of Atrachya differ from those of Paleosepharia in having uniform tarsomere I of front legs (sexual dimorphic tarsomere I of front legs in Paleosepharia), almost straight apex of penis in lateral view (Fig. 3D) (dorsally curved apex of penis in lateral view in Paleosepharia), deeply incised tectum with strong apical hooks (Fig. 3C) (apical tapering tectum or weakly incised tectum without apical hooks in Paleosepharia).</p><p>Included species.</p><p>Excluding Taiwanese species, 21 species in the African, Palaearctic, and Oriental regions (Nie et al. 2017). Taxonomic status of species should be reevaluated (see below).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/772BCBB64B5557248660C6BF16DA7378	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Pronotum 1.73-1.76 times wider than long; lateral margins slightly rounded and basally narrowed, basal margin slightly rounded, apical margin slightly concave; disc with dense coarse punctures, without lateral depressions. Elytra 1.33-1.42 times longer than wide; parallel sided; disc slightly convex, with dense, coarse punctures; apex truncate. Penis (Fig. 5C-E) wide, ca. 3.5 times longer than wide; lateral margins parallel from base to middle, then slightly narrowed towards apex, apex broadly rounded; tectum broad from apical 1/6 to middle, apex truncate; slightly and curved at apical 1/3 in lateral view; ventral surface with membranous area from apex to apical 1/3.

General color extremely variable, with five distinct color patterns (see variation). Antennae (Fig. 10A) filiform in males, ratio of length of antennomeres I to XI 1.0: 0.4: 0.4: 1.0: 1.1: 1.1: 1.1: 1.0: 1.1: 0.9: 1.0; ratio of length to width from antennomere I to XI 3.6: 1.6: 1.8: 4.1: 5.0: 5.3: 5.9: 5.1: 5.9: 5.2: 5.4; similar in females, ratio of length of antennomeres I to XI (Fig. 10B) 1.0: 0.4: 0.4: 1.0: 1.1: 1.0: 1.1: 1.0: 1.0: 0.9: 1.0; ratio of length to width from antennomere I to XI 3.6: 1.8: 2.1: 4.5: 5.3: 5.2: 5.4: 5.5: 5.5: 5.0: 5.8. Pronotum 1.90-1.94 times wider than long; lateral margins slightly rounded, basal margin slightly rounded, apical margin slightly concave; disc with dense minute punctures, but without lateral depressions. Elytra 1.36-1.40 times longer than wide; lateral margins rounded, widest at middle; disc moderately convex, with dense, minute punctures; apex truncate. Penis (Fig. 10C-E) wide, ca. 3.8 times longer than wide; lateral margins rounded, widest at basal 1/3; apex broadly rounded; tectum elongate from apical 1/6 to middle, parallel-sided, apex broadly rounded; slightly and apically curved in lateral view; ventral surface with membranous area from apex to apical 1/4; with one small rounded process on lateral margin at apical 1/4. Endophallic spiculae complex with six or seven pairs of hooked spiculae (visible in dorsal view), one additional pair of hooked spiculae near middle with four or five ventral branches; with one pair of longitudinal rows of hair-like setae and small rounded sclerites near base. Gonocoxae (Fig. 10F) slender, tightly conjunct from apical 1/6 to middle; each gonocoxa with eight setae from apical 1/6 to apex, subapically widened, apex narrowly rounded, base deeply bifurcate. Ventrite VIII (Fig. 10G) weakly sclerotized except apex, with several short and long setae at apex, and several long setae at sides, spiculum elongate. Spermathecal receptaculum (Fig. 10H) as slender as pump, apically tapering; pump slender and curved; sclerotized spermathecal duct extremely elongate, but base wide, followed by slender tube, then with inflated areas. Bursal sclerites reduced.</p><p>Variation.</p><p>Color pattern divided into four forms. Form A (Fig. 9A, B) (described as one form of Atrachya bicoloripennis): general color black; but apical 2/3 white, abdomen reddish brown. Form B (Fig. 9C, D): similar to form A, but white area replaced with red (described as another form of A. bicoloripennis). Form C (Fig. 9E, F) (described as A. saramao): similar to form B, but elytra entirely reddish brown, meso-and metathoracic ventrites reddish brown; some individuals have paler femora and antennae. Form D (Fig. 9G, H) (described as typical form of A. nitidissima): body color reddish brown, but antennae, tibiae, and tarsi darker. Form E (Fig. 9I): similar to form A, but apical 1/3 of elytra black.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Neochya nitidissima ( Chûjô) is similar to N. chengi sp. nov. in having wide elytra, truncate elytral apices and reduced lateral depressions on the pronotum (Figs 4, 9) (narrow elytra, rounded elytra apices and with lateral depression on the pronotum in others (Figs 2D-F, 7) but differs from N. chengi sp. nov. in rounded elytra and having reduced punctures on the pronotum and fine punctures on the elytra (Fig. 9) (parallel sided elytra and coarse punctures on pronotum and elytra in N. chengi sp. nov. (Fig. 3)). In addition, males of both species are separated from others with smooth margin of tectum of the penis (Figs 5C, 10C) (serrate margin of tectum (Figs 8C, 12C), but males of N. nitidissima differs from those of N. chengi with small rounded process on lateral margin of the penis (Fig. 10C-E) (lacking small rounded process on lateral margin of the penis in N. nitidissima (Fig. 5C-E). Atrachya bicoloripennis (Forms A and B: Fig. 9A-E) and A. saramao (Form C: Fig. 9E, F) have distinct color patterns which are different from typical form N. nitidissima (Form D: (Fig. 9G, H)). All of they are synonyms with no doubt based on examination of the penis.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>The holotype of Luperodes nitidissimus was described as a male ( Chûjô 1935), but it is actually a female.</p><p>Food plants.</p><p>Celastraceae: Celastrus kusanoi Hayata, C. hindsii Benth., Euonymus spraguei Hayata (Fig. 1D).</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Widespread in Taiwan. Most individuals with different color patterns can be separated based on distributions (Fig. 11A) except for the single form E. Members of form A occur at high elevation (&gt; 2000 m) in south Taiwan, including Chiayi, south Nantou, and Kaohsiung counties. Those of form B also occur at high elevation (&gt; 2000 m) but in central Taiwan, including Hsinchu, Miaoli, north and central Nantou, Taichung and Hualien counties. Those of form C occur at middle elevations (1000-2000 m) in central and south and east Taiwan, including Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Nantou, Kaohsiung, Pingtung, and Hualien counties. Those of form D occur at middle elevations (1000-2000 m) in north Taiwan, including Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Ilan counties, as well as lowlands (&lt;1000 m) in central and south Taiwan, including Yulin, Tainan, and Pingtung counties. Coexistence of two different color patterns was observed in some areas, such forms A and B at Anmashan (鞍馬山); forms B and C at Hsuehchien (雪見), Tayuling (大禹嶺), and Tunyuan (屯原); forms C and E at Peitawushan (北大武山).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/FE167CDA4D2551EC8C21D81383383731	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Color patterns of this species are extremely variable. Typical individuals have a yellowish brown body, with wide black bands along the lateral margins and suture of elytra (Fig. 13A), blackish brown antennae, except two basal antennomeres, tibiae, tarsi, metasternum, metepisternum, and epimera yellowish brown. Some have a more yellowish body color (Fig. 13B, C) but with blackish brown antenna, tibiae, and tarsi as typical form. Different degrees of variation exist between both forms, such as slender back stripes along the margin of the elytra (Fig. 13D). Some are similar to the typical form, but the elytra are entirely black (Fig. 13E). Some are entirely black except the yellowish brown abdomen (Fig. 13F, G). In addition, two color patterns have not been studied previously. One is similar to the typical form but with the elytra black except one transverse white band (Fig. 13H). It was described as Atrachya mediofasciata . The other is also similar to the typical form but the elytra black apically (Fig. 13I). In addition, two specimens misidentified as Monolepta bicavipennis have a characteristic color pattern: yellowish brown body but head and prothrax blackish brown, tibiae darker.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A4EF7D88268F5BE2955757307137532D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
