Abstract
The genus Tepperia Lea, 1903 (Cryptorhynchinae: Cryptorhynchini) is recorded from the Oriental Region for the first time. A supplementary description of Tepperia sterculiae Lea, 1903 is given for the male terminalia and stridulatory organ. A new combination, Tepperia palawanica (Heller, 1913), comb. nov., is proposed and a male lectotype is designated for Cyamobolus palawanicus Heller, 1913, which was previously known from Cebu and Palawan Islands. Additionally, a new species, Tepperia vagabunda Tsuji & Yoshitake sp. nov., is described from Japan (the Ryukyus: Ishigakijima and Iriomotejima Islands) and Taiwan. These two species are associated with the looking-glass mangrove, Heritiera littoralis Dryand. ex Aiton (Malvaceae). Larvae of T. vagabunda feed inside the seeds where they also pupate.
期刊介绍：
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
