NOTE
Les échantillons types comportent des fleurs épanouies. Plusieurs isotypes comportent plusieurs rameaux (GH, K, NY et P) dont certains avec des restes d’infrutescences et d’autres avec des fleurs. Ils appartiennent cependant tous à l’espèce A. deplanchei. L’holotype contient des notes manuscrites d’Hochreutiner et l’indication du rameau utilisée pour la diagnose. Il existe de nombreuses parts de Deplanche 325, mais seules celles portant l’étiquette Deplanche et l’écriture de celui-ci sont considérées comme isotypes.

Nephrodesmus macrobotryosus (Hochr.) Schindl., Repertorium Specierum Novarum Regni Vegetabilis 20: 277 (1924).
NOTES
Lors de sa révision du genre Arthroclianthus, Hochreutiner (1909) décrit A. macrobotryosus en citant deux récoltes, l’une étant en fleurs (Vieillard 2550, NY01104740) et l’autre en fruits (Vieillard 2549, NY01104732, NY01104733). Il met toutefois en doute l’appartenance de cette dernière récolte à ce taxon, en précisant que le spécimen Vieillard 2549 n’est pas à considérer comme un type, et en mettant entre parenthèses la description du fruit dans sa diagnose. Schindler décrit le genre Nephrodesmus en 1916. En 1924, Il transfère ce taxon sous Nephrodesmu s suite à l’examen de cette récolte, sans donner aucune justification. En 1926, Schindler créa le nom N. hochreutineri en désignant Vieillard 2549 comme récolte type. Nous considérons l’échantillon Vieillard 2549 (NY01104732, NY01104733) provenant d’une seule et même récolte de N. hochreutineri au vue des caractères morphologiques typiques des Nephrodesmus.
Les spécimens de Paris portant la numérotation Vieillard 2550 (P 04022472, P 04022475, P 04022476) correspondent à une autre récolte que les spécimens types d’ A. macrobotryosus (i.e. P 04022473, P 04022474), car portant une localité différente sur leurs étiquettes («Wagap, vallée de la Tiwaka »), et ne sont par conséquent pas considérés comme des isotypes.

NOTES
Parmi les parts de Vieillard 2544, l’échantillon P02296504 est choisi comme lectotype car l’étiquette comporte la localité précisée dans la diagnose. Une part d’herbier de Paris placée sous la numérotation Vieillard 2544 (Kanala, 1861-67, fr, P03993641!) correspond à une récolte différente, car présentant des caractères morphologiques typiques d’ Arthroclianthus grandifolius, une espèce proche dont la localité type est située aux alentours de Canala. Toutefois les deux espèces sont facilement distinguables: A. maximus possède des inflorescences compactes et robustes vs. grandes et grêles aux bractées finement lancéolées chez A. grandifolius. Nous excluons par conséquent la part portant le code-barre P03993641 des types d’ A. maximus.

NOTE
Il existe plusieurs parts de Vieillard 2551 à P, mais seules trois sont annotées de la main de Vieillard avec la localité type citée dans la diagnose. Les échantillons Vieillard 2551 (P02296547 et trois autres parts sans codes-barres) ne sont donc pas considérés comme des isotypes.
L’échantillon de Pancher 42 (P02296583) est choisi comme lectotype car, d’une part, il correspond à la diagnose originale de A. tenuifolius, comportant uniquement la description d’un fruit mature et la citation de la récolte « Pancher 42, specimen fructiferum in herb. Paris » et, d’autre part, il porte un determinavit de Schindler. Cinq parts uniquement en fleurs ont été retrouvées correspondant à Pancher 42 à NY et P ([NY01104742] scan!, [P02296378, P02296379, P02296380, P03993544]!), mais elles sont un mélange d’espèces, et en conséquence exclues des types de A. tenuifolius (voir détails sous A. balansae).

NOTES
La part Deplanche 327 de NY (NY01104738) est choisie comme lectotype car elle correspond à la diagnose originale,est en bon état de conservation et contient des notes manuscrites d’Hochreutiner.Les échantillons appartenant à la récolte Deplanche 327 sont en fait un mélange de deux espèces. Ils correspondent tous aux caractères fructifères cités dans la diagnose originale de Arthroclianthus obovatus, à l’exception du spécimen de P (P02296233), en fleurs, qui est, comme nous l’avons vu précédemment, un isotype de Nephrodesmus sericeus. L’isotype d’ A. obovatus conservé à P et correspondant à la récolte Deplanche 327 porte l’étiquette de Deplanche 328. Il y a eu un échange d’étiquettes entre l’isotype d’ A. obovatus et celui de Nephrodesmus sericeus.

NOTES
Il s’agit ici clairement d’un genre différent d’ Arthroclianthus. Schindler a décrit cette espèce sur la base d’échantillons en fleurs. Cette espèce est identifiée en tant que Strongylodon lucidus Seem. Les échantillons de Vieillard 2559 sont cités dans la révision des Strongylodon Vogel (Huang 1991). Il existe plusieurs parts de Vieillard 2559 à P, mais seules trois sont annotées de la main de Vieillard avec la localité type citée dans la diagnose et seulement deux parts sont en fleurs. Par conséquent nous choisissons la part Vieillard 2559 (P02850653) comme lectotype.

Remarks
The genus Nossibeus was erected for Laius politus Fairmaire, 1880 (Evers 1994). After observation of this species, including its endophallic structure, it was clear that this species cannot be recognised as another species of the genus Laius. In the present paper, Nossibeus Evers, 1994 is treated as a junior synonym of Laius Guérin-Méneville, 1830 (syn. nov.).

1 ♂ (EUMJ), “ Taitung, TAIWAN Is. Ludao 4-6. IV. 2012 N. OHBAYASHI leg.”. Other material studied is already mentioned in Yoshitomi & Lee (2010).
Description of endophallic sclerites
Gonoporal piece (Fig. 4H) curved, rather wide, 0.67 mm in GL; GL/AL 1.68. Ligula (Fig. 4H) long, slightly curved; LL 0.38 mm; LW 0.08 mm; LL/LW 4.60; GL/LL 1.74. Additional sclerite (Fig. 4H) present, 0.09 mm.
Remarks
Yoshitomi & Lee (2010) pointed out that this species has local variations between the populations from mainland Taiwan, Lutao and Lanyu Isls. in body size and elytral luster. For the present study, I examined the endophallic structures of these populations, and it became clear that they certainly belong to the same species because of the highly similar features of the endophallic structures.
