    Eutetrapha lini Chou, Chung & Lin, 2010 Figs. 122, 153 f & 153g Eutetrapha lini Chou, Chung & Lin, 2010: 313, figs. 1–16. Type locality: China, Taiwan, Taitung County, Soca. Type depository: NMNST. Eutetrapha lini; Lin, 2015: 276, figs. 1859432–434. Description. Male: length: 13.2–14.0 mm, humeral width: 4.2–4.4 mm. Female: length: 13.8–16.0 mm, humeral width: 4.7–5.3 mm. Details refer to Chou et al. (2010). Diagnosis. This species differs from Paraglenea spp. by male with only anterior claws of pro- and mesotarsi appendiculate, remainders all simple (all male claws in Paraglenea appendiculate). It is similar to Eutetrapha chrysochloris (Bates, 1879), but can be distinguished by metallic blue to purple blue scales, larger and sparser elytral punctures, almost rounded black arc on apical half of elytra, hardly visible elytral apical tooth at the outer angle, etc., and on genitalia distinguished by stouter lateral lobes of tegmen, nearly rounded apex of ventral plate etc. Remarks. Eutetrapha lini is a nocturnal species, being attracted by light trap. We believe it is probably monophagous (Chou et al. 2010). Distribution. China: Taiwan.

    [[abstract]]A Study on the Relation of the Citizen’s SubjectiveI Impression on the Spouses from Mainland China and Vietnam and Community Educational Policies in Shu Lin City in Taipei ounty. Abstract By:Chou chen- tsung Advisor:Lin en-chung The purpose of this research is to understand the current situation of the citizen’s subjective impressions on the spouses from Mainland China and Vietnam in Shu Lin City. The survey is carried out by self-designed questionnaires. The parents of the students in 10 ele mentary schools of Shu Lin City were taken as samples, 1000 que stionnaires were released, in which 825 effective copies were responded and returned (reaching a 93.0% share of all return questionnaires). The methods for analyzing the data are adopted from SPSS Statistic Software, which includes avera ges, standard deviation,t-test,ANOVA…etc to analyze.The main findings are as below: 1. The subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens on the Mainland spouses tends to be “ordinary” to “slightly good.” 2. Regarding the subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens on the Mainland spouses, there is a significant difference on the four out of six different variants, which are gender, occupations, marital status, and their experience of contacting Mainland China spouses. 3. The subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens on the Vietnamese spouses tends to be “ordinary”to “slightly good.” 4. Regarding the subjective impression of Shu Lin citizens on the Vietnamese spouses, there is a significant difference on the three out of six different variants, which are occupations, marital status, and educational background. 5. There is a significant difference on the citizens’ subjective impres sion between the spouses from Mainland China and those from Vietnam. “Focus Group Interview” was also practiced to enrich the study. Based on the research result, some suggestions regarding the effective community educational policies are proposed. 1.Publicize the positive impressions of Shu Lin citizens toward the spouses from Mainland China and Vietnam. 2.More researches and studies should be done by th government and the academic institutes in order to facilitate the positive understanding. 3.Encourage the positive reports from the media which should be carefully regulated by the government and the non-gover nmental organizations. 4.For schools, enhance multicultural teaching environment;for the government, host more multicultural exhibitions about the spouses from Mainland and Vietnam. 5.Make good use of the resources from schools and communities to popularize the idea of “multicultural community educati on” as well as to facilitate the integration of different races. 6.The spouses from Mainland and Vietnam should learn actively and positively to adapt themselves to the lifestyles of the ir family and the community; therefore, they are able to gain more positive interaction and feedback from the peoplein the community. Key words: Mainland China spouses, Vietnamese spouses, Transnational marriage, Subjective impression

    <p> <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung ex T.C. Hsu & S.W. Chung, <i>sp. nov.</i></p> <p> [“ <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung (1977: 21, as <i>triangulosepalum</i>)”, <i>nom. inval.</i>; “ <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung ex H.W. Lin (1999: 102, as <i>triangulosepalum</i>)”, <i>nom. inval.</i>; “ <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung ex S.W. Chung ” in Chen <i>et al.</i> (2017: 329, as <i>triangulosepalum</i>), <i>nom. inval.</i>].</p> <p> <b>Type:</b> — TAIWAN. Hualien County: Hsiulin Township, Lo-ma-wan Shan, 1800 m elev., 15 June 1973, <i>N.J. Chung 280</i> (holotype: NTUF!, barcode: F00008307; isotypes: NTUF!, eight sheets, barcodes: F00008308–F00008315).</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis:</b> — <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> is similar to <i>S. truncatistigmum</i> T.S. Liu & N.J. Chung (1977: 23) in sharing epiphytic life-form, alternate and ±flattened leaves and fused calyx, while the former is readily distinguished in having longer calyx (1.5–2.0 vs. 0.8–1.0 mm) that are only fused at the base (vs. nearly entirely fused).</p> <p> <b>Morphological descriptions and illustrations:</b> —This species has been described by Liu & Chung (1977: 21) and illustrated by Tang & Huang (1989: 27, pl. 15, as <i>Sedum microsepalum</i>), Chen <i>et al.</i> (2017: 329) and Ito <i>et al.</i> (2017: 11, fig. 1D).</p> <p> <b>Distribution and ecology:</b> — <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> is endemic in Taiwan, where it occurs in the northern and eastern portions of the main island and usually grows on tree trunks in montane cloud forests at 500–2000 m elev. (Liu & Chung 1977; Chen <i>et al.</i> 2017; Ito <i>et al.</i> 2017).</p> <p> <b>Etymology:</b> —The specific epithet is composed of two Latin elements: <i>triangulus</i>, triangular, and <i>sepalum</i>, sepal, referring to its triangular calyx lobes. It should be spelt as “ <i>triangulisepalum</i> ” instead of “ <i>triangulosepalum</i> ” as originally published by Liu & Chung (1977) according to Art. 60.10 of the ICN.</p> <p> <b>Note:</b> —Two gatherings, “ <i>Suzuki s.n.</i> ” collected from Wulai and “ <i>Chuang 280</i> ” collected from Lomawanshan, were cited under <i>Sedum triangulisepalum</i> by Liu & Chung (1977), and “ <i>Chuang 280</i> ” is presumably a typo of “ <i>Chung 280</i> ” since the “ <i>N.J. Chung 280</i> ” gathering, collected by the second original author and currently preserved in NTUF, matches well with the data given in the original publication (Liu & Chung 1977). There are nine duplicates of <i>Chung 280</i>, including one (barcode: F00008307) labelled as “ holotype ” and the others (barcodes: F00008308–F00008315) as “isotype”. Although these labels could not be archived as the legitimate designation of types as they are not effectively published (see Art. 7.10 of the ICN), they supposedly reflect the original author’s intention and are thus adopted here. Images of all type materials are available in the “Plants of Taiwan ” database [http://tai2.ntu.edu.tw].</p>Published as part of <i>Hsu, Tian-Chuan & Chung, Shih-Wen, 2022, Validation of the name Sedum triangulosepalum (Crassulaceae), pp. 215-216 in Phytotaxa 547 (2)</i> on page 215, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.547.2.10, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/6571375">http://zenodo.org/record/6571375</a&gt
