Remarks.
Cybocephalus nipponicus
seems to be native to Southeast Asia and the South Pacific (Endrödy-Younga 1971
b
; Tian 2006), but has been introduced all over the world. This beetle has been released in North America (Drea and Carlson 1988; Van Driesche
et al.
1998; Howard
et al.
1999 [misidentified as
Cybocephalus binotatus
Grouvelle
]), the West Indies (Smith and Cave 2007),
South Africa
(Labuschange
et al.
1998 [misidentified as
C. binotatus
]), and southern Europe (Lupi 2003). This is the first published record of
C. nipponicus
in
Taiwan
