K.Koch (Araliaceae), Calvittacus repandi sp. nov. on Mallotus repandus (Rottler) Müll.Arg. (Euphorbiaceae), Epitrimerus bellae sp. nov. on Rosa bella Rehder & E.H.Wilson (Rosaceae), Prominens brevitubuma sp. nov. on Viburnum brevitubum (P.S.Hsu) P.S.Hsu (Viburnaceae), Abacarus taiwanianae sp. nov. on Derris taiwaniana (Hayata) Z.Q.Song (Leguminosae), Aculops styphnolobii sp. nov. on Styphnolobium japonicum (L.)
