Remarks.

Lin and Yang (2011) were unable to define Glenea lacteomaculata Schwarzer, 1925. Subsequently, the first author examined a photograph of a syntype of Glenea lacteomaculata (taken by Nobuo Ohbayashi, Japan). Comparing that photograph with another of Glenea quadriguttata Pic, 1926, it is possible to conclude that the latter must be elevated to species. Hua (2002) indexed Taiwan and Guangxi and this was followed by Löbl and Smetana (2010). However, the specimens from Guangxi should be Glenea quadriguttata Pic, 1926 ( Lin and Yang 2011) and only Taiwan was the known locality of Glenea lacteomaculata Schwarzer, 1925.

Distribution.

China: Taiwan.

Lectotype designation.

According to the original description ( Schwarzer 1925), there were multiple type specimens. The syntypes were deposited in SDEI and SMF. In order to fix the species concept and ensure universal and consistent interpretation of this species, we designate the female specimen in SDEI as the lectotype (Fig. 10a, b), the female in SMF (Fig. 11a, b) and another one with same collecting data to the lectotype ( Behne and Gaedike 2013) as the paralectotypes of Glenea lacteomaculata Schwarzer, 1925. Though the female in SMF is in better condition than the female with antennae mostly lost in SDEI, we pick up the SDEI one as lectotype according to ICZN Recommendation 74D. The majority of Schwarzer’s types collected by Hans Sauter is contained in SDEI (listed by Behne and Gaedike 2013; Stephan Blank and Junsuke Yamasako, personal communication in November, 2015). The lectotype has the following labels: "Sokutsu/ Formosa/ H. Sauter 1912" printed, “7.VI.” printed, " Glenea lacteomaculata / Cotype! Schwarzer" handwritten, “Syntypus” printed on red label, "DEI Coleoptera # 200572" printed on white label. And a lectotype label will be added by the managers in SDEI after this paper.
