downgradedtothesubspeciesofC、.(A)saute1・1RoEscHKE,withdescriptionofanew
subspeciesfromSouthTaiwanunderthenameofC. (A)s.shimizu1'anusnov.
All thespecies belonging to thesubgenus Apotomopterusof the genusCarabus
(s lat)haveawell developedchitinouspiece, namedspinula'), at thedorsal baseof
endophallus, as thebasicstructure of malegenital organ. Although its taxonomic
importancehas not alwaysbeen takenintoaccount bypreviousauthors, thissmall
scleriteispeculiarinsizeandshapeaccordingeither tospeciesor tosubspecies, and
seems useful for identification andclassification of lower taxa. On the basis of this
genitaliccharacter,taxonomic relationshipamongthemembersofthesamesubgenus
shouldbereconstructed,at least partly.
InCa,・abus(A)saute,・1, whichwasdescribedbyRoEscHKE(1912, p 4) from the
centralpart ofTaiwan, thespinulaiswell-developed,spine-orpeg-likeinshape・and
isobliquelysituatedalittletotheleftofthemid-lineatthedorsalbaseofendopha11us.
Althoughonceregarded byBREuNING(l932, p 206)asasynonymofC. (A) cha,1g1
HAUSER, thisspeciesis now widely known to be distinct, since the same author re-
cognisedsoinhisotherarticle(1957,p 275). However, littlehasbeen revised onits
taxonomicstatus based upon the morphologyof genitalia, above all ot thespinula,
bycontrastwithits relativesdistributed in thesoutheasternpart oftheChineseCon-
tinent
Throughmyrecentstudyonthedetailedstructureofmalegenital organ,I have
becomeaware of the fact that several formsof continental Apo1omopterushitherto
describedasindependentspeciesarein fact notsoremarkablydifferent fromC.(A)
sauter1,andhavecometotheconclusionthattheyshouldbeunifiedintoasingletaxon
atthespecieslevel. So faras Ihaveexamined,thefollowingfivetaxaareconsidered
tobeconspecificwiththeTaiwanesespecies:C.(A)cha,1g1HAUSER,C.(4.) kleinfeldi-

1973), “scleritebasal” (DEUvE, 1988, 1990; DEUvEet lMURA, 1990), ''sclerite dentiforme” (DEUvE,

In thispaper, I amgoing todowngradeall ofthem to thesubspeciesofC.(A)

subspeciesof the latter from thesouthern part of Taiwan under thename of

species.
I havebeenunabletoexaminesomeothertaxa2)whichseemverysimilarat least
superficiallyto thespeciesunder consideration. Besides, our knowledge isstill too
