Summary:Tokubei Kuroda's collection comprises one of the most important records of the land snail fauna of Taiwan. Among the 35 new and available species-group names described by Kuroda, the types of 22 species have been catalogued and pictured previously. The present article presents the type series of ten further species: Diplommatina dandanensis Kuroda, 1941, D. karenkoensis Kuroda, 1941, Gastrocopta ooi Kuroda, 1941, Thaumatoptyx crassilamellata (Kuroda, 1941), Reinia eastlakeana tayalis Kuroda, 1941, Otesiopsis taiwanica (Kuroda, 1941), Plectopylis ishizakii Kuroda, 1941, Satsuma nux sericata (Kuroda, 1941), S. succincta rubrotincta (Kuroda, 1941) and Aegista taiwanica Kuroda, 1941. This leaves three species described by Kuroda still untraceable. Two diplommatinid subspecies are raised to full species status.
