Abstract
ABSTRACT The large-sized species of the genus Eupiestus Kraatz were reviewed taxonomically. Eupiestus miriceps Fauvel, 1902, is redescribed with a detailed illustration of the male genital parts. Eupiestus giganteus Shibata, 1991, was synonymised with E. callosus Fauvel, 1902. Eupiestus miriceps and E. spinifer were newly recorded from the Malay Peninsula (Malaysia: Selangor) and Laos, respectively. Habitus photographs of all species including the holotype of E. spinifer var. unicolor Cameron are given. A key for the identification of large-sized Eupiestus species and the list of the world Eupiestus species are provided. Observation of the mid-gut contents suggests that Eupiestus species are fungivorous, at least in adults of a few species.
期刊介绍：
Oriental Insects is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the publication of original research articles and reviews on the taxonomy, ecology, biodiversity and evolution of insects and other land arthropods of the Old World and Australia. Manuscripts referring to Africa, Australia and Oceania are highly welcomed. Research papers covering the study of behaviour, conservation, forensic and medical entomology, urban entomology and pest control are encouraged, provided that the research has relevance to Old World or Australian entomofauna. Precedence will be given to more general manuscripts (e.g. revisions of higher taxa, papers with combined methodologies or referring to larger geographic units). Descriptive manuscripts should refer to more than a single species and contain more general results or discussion (e.g. determination keys, biological or ecological data etc.). Laboratory works without zoogeographic or taxonomic reference to the scope of the journal will not be accepted.
