Maladera uncipenis Ahrens, Fabrizi & Liu 2021
No full textMaladera uncipenis group Remarks. This species group includes the genus Paramaldera Nomura, 1974, described from Taiwan. Given the pending systematic status of many polyphyletic Maladera lineages due to lacking comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis (Liu et al. 2015b; Eberle et al. 2017), we refrain here from treating Paramaladera or its described species as a subgenus of Maladera, nor do we considered part or all of the species of the M. uncipenis group treated here as species of the genus Paramaladera. Many of the endemic Taiwanese generic groups of Sericini are nested within larger Chinese lineages which often do not bear the diagnostic key apomorphies of the Taiwanese genus group (e.g., Ahrens 2007c, 2009). Continuing to retain those names would probably lead to morphologically undefinable genera and an inflation of generic names. Therefore, all systematic conclusions must be approached with great caution and wider geographical consideration, rather than as taxa of small-scale regional faunas.
