Abstract
A new eumenine species, Pararrhynchium taiwanum sp. nov., from Taiwan is described. Based on the examination of holotype, the subspecies multifascitum Giordani Soika 1986 of Pararrhynchium paradoxum is actually a subspecies of P. ornatum (Smith), comb. nov. A catalogue of the nine species of Pararrhynchium Saussure is presented.References
