Serica (subgenus Taiwanoserica Nomura, 1974)

Taiwanoserica Nomura, 1974: 82 (type species Taiwanoserica elongata Nomura, 1974 by original designation).

Remarks. According to the results of a recent phylogenetic analysis (Ahrens, in press), the genus Serica (as presently defined) is paraphyletic if Taiwanoserica is retained as a valid genus. Thus, the latter must be downranked to a subgenus of Serica resulting in the following new combinations:
