Abstract

Three new species of Sphaeroderma Stephens, 1831, S. hsuisp. nov., S. changisp. nov., and S. sheipaensissp. nov. are described based on specimens from Shei-Pa National Park, Taiwan. A fourth new species, S. jungchanisp. nov., is described based on specimens from southern Taiwan. Delimitation of the genus is discussed based on S. flavonotatum Chûjô, 1937, which is redescribed, and the new species, S. jungchanisp. nov.
