From Taiwan

Female: 22,1 mm
Identified as Moechotypa delicatula (White, 1858). It is correct?
Saludos

I have 5 specimens of M. delicatula: 3 males and 2 females. All of them have the pronotal base "elevated". But,...It is an enough difference to design new species?
I don't know, but me feeling is that formosana i a synonym of delicatula. So, before to know more details, I will maintain my specimens as M. delicatula (White, 1858).

Good question! I don't know if M.formosana is a synonym of M.delicatula. I don't have these species in my collection to compare them, only photos of the holotypes: it seems to me that the base of the elytra is slightly different.
