Paraserica taiwana Nomura & Kobayashi, 1979: 11.

Distribution.

The species occurs in the central mountainous part (Nantou County) of Taiwan.

Remarks.

Species is known (from Taiwan) only from female, thus the true identity of this species is uncertain yet. We had no chance yet to examine the holotype. Given its occurrence (Nantou County) in the central mountainous part of Taiwan which is characterised by a high endemism, it is highly improbable that this species does also occur in mainland China.
