Abstract
Three species of Leucopholis Dejean, 1833 chafers from the Philippines are described and illustrated: Leucopholis stainesi sp. nov., L. bezdeki sp. nov. and L. ratcliffei sp. nov. A neotype is designated for Leucopholis semperi Brenske, 1896. A revised key to the species of Leucopholis in the Philippines is provided.
期刊介绍:
EJT is a fully refereed, international, fully electronic Open Access journal in descriptive taxonomy, covering subjects in zoology, entomology, botany (in its broadest sense), and palaeontology. EJT-papers must be original and adhere to high scientific (content) and technical (language, artwork, etc.) standards. Manuscripts that are clearly substandard in either of these categories will not be sent out for review. EJT is supported by a consortium of European Natural History Institutes, but its scope is global. Both authorship and geographical region of study need not be European. Authors are, however, strongly encouraged to involve European Natural History collections by consulting material or by depositing specimens (e.g. types and figured material) related to their published paper in the collection of a European Natural History Institute.
