Remarks.
P. subcordata
was recorded from
Taiwan
by
Miwa (1931)
,
Kaszab (1940)
could not find the specimen(s) although he recognised the authenticity of its distribution.
P. strigicollis
was described from
Japan
by
Lewis (1895)
. However, there were no distribution records of
Taiwan
and
Japan
by
Egorov (2008)
, probably considered of transporting goods (e.g., woods) by human. In the recent study, precious specimens of
P. ovata
Ballion, 1878
have been collected from Qinghai, Gansu, Inner
Mongolia
and Guangxi, (see material of
P. ovata
), and
Oodescelis
(
Acutoodescelis
)
sp. from
Taiwan
(not published yet), and also
Oodescelis
sp. from Hubei (not published yet). Therefore, the distribution records of
Taiwan
and
Japan
should be restored.
