Supra-antennal carina complete, rounded, depressed medially. Frontoclypeal region narrowed medially. Mouth-parts inferior. Antennae serrate from antennomere IV, without median longitudinal carina; antennomere IV longer than II-III combined in many, shorter than II-III combined in a few. Pronotum with median basal furrow, without sublateral incision near hind angles; hind angles unicarinate. Pronotosternal sutures not grooved or very shallowly grooved in front. Posterior edge of hypomeron straight mesally and then broadly rounded. Procoxal cavity partly closed behind by mesal projection of hypomeron. Prosternal process concave between procoxae, with subapical tooth in lateral view. Side of scutellum parallel on anterior half. Mesocoxal cavity open to mesepimeron and mesepisternum. Mesosternum separated by suture from metasternum. Outer edge of metacoxal plates wide in most, but narrowed in a few. Elytral surface with rasp-like punctures; elytral apical edge serrate and with small spines, serration very slight in some and then almost rounded. Tarsi simple; claws simple, without basal setae.</p> <p>Ôhira (1970a, 1995a) stated that the apical elytral edge is more or less truncate; however, this is based on a misunderstanding.</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>Oriental region (Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam): 30 species (Schimmel 2003, 2004, 2006; Schimmel and Tarnawski 2009). Palearctic region (Japan, Russia): five species (Kishii 1999; Prosvirov 2013).</p> <p>Ecology.</p> <p>Adults of the genus are often observed visiting flowers during the daytime. In Japan, Gamepenthes has been recorded visiting the flowers of Sambucus sp. and Viburnum sp. (family Adoxaceae), Angelica sp. (Apiaceae), Aralia cordata Thunb. (Araliaceae), Clethra barbinervis Siebold et Zucc. (Clethraceae), Neoshirakia japaonica (Siebold et Zucc.) Esser (Euphorbiaceae), Castanea crenata Siebold et Zucc. (Fagaceae), Hydrangea paniculata Siebold and H. serrata (Thunb.) Ser. var. acuminata (Siebold et Zucc.) Nakai (Hydrangeaceae), and Cimicifuga sp. (Ranunculaceae) (Ôhira, 1995a). This study adds flowers of Tilia japonica (Miq.) Simonk. (Malvaceae) to the records.</p> <p>While most adult Gamepenthes individuals are not attracted to lights at night, G. similis has been collected by light traps (Ootsuka et al., 1981). We examined a few specimens of G. ornatus and G. pictipennis collected using simple light traps made with weak fluorescent lights.</p> <p>Included species from Japan.</p> <p>Five species: G. ornatus (Lewis, 1894); G. pictipennis (Lewis, 1894); G. similis (Lewis, 1894); G. versipellis (Lewis, 1894); G. yoshidai Ôhira, 1995.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/9BF5153383B955A0B22FC433DEAE64E8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

They are distinguished by apical expansion of parameres beyond apical-lateral hooks (G. ornatus, apex length 0.8-0.9 times width of parameres at expansion; G. versipellis, 0.5-0.6 times width of parameres at expansion) (Fig. 7A, D).</p> <p>Ôhira (1995a) distinguished G. ornatus from G. versipellis in the key by the antennomere II (G. ornatus, longer than wide; G. versipellis, shorter than wide) and color of the basal outer edge of the elytra (G. ornatus, pale orange, Fig. 1A; G. versipellis, black, Fig. 1D). However, in both species, the males’ antennomere II is shorter than wide (Fig. 3A), and in females, it is almost as long as or slightly longer than wide (Fig. 3B). Moreover, their elytral base is variable in color, and we found specimens [GO001, GO016] of G. versipellis with a pale orange basal outer edge of the elytra. The two species are difficult to distinguish using antennomere II and elytral color. In females, pronotum coloration is a good diagnostic character (G. ornatus, brown, Fig. 4B; G. versipellis, red, Fig. 4D) because no pronotum color variation has been found in either species. Considering the possibility that females with non-red pronota have been found, pronotum shape is the best diagnostic character for both sexes of the two species except for aedeagus (G. ornatus, PWI 150-156 in male and 161-174 in female; G. versipellis, PWI 172-184 in male and 176-191 in female) (Fig. 4A-D).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/C85842654B22560384583B00F6F2B96F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

[male: GV015; females: GV016, GV017].</p> <p>Diagnosis.</p> <p>Body robust (EI: 226-243, BI: 206-222). Prothorax black in male; female with pronotum and hypomeron red, prosternum black. Each elytron with pale orange U-shaped marking basally; basal marking partly reduced in some. Antennomere II shorter than wide in male, slightly longer than wide in female; III shorter than wide in male, longer than wide in female; IV robust (1.48-1.72 times longer than wide in male, 1.66-1.75 times longer than wide in female), longer than II-III combined (1.72-1.99 times as long as II-III combined in male, 1.08-1.14 times as long as II-III combined in female). Prosternal process weakly inclined dorsad (17-26°). Metacoxal plates not narrowed outwards, with outer edge wide. Apical edge of elytra serrate. Apex of parameres beyond pre-apical expansions widely triangular (apex length 0.5-0.6 times width of parameres at expansion).</p> <p>Measurements.</p> <p>Male (8 spec.).

Russia: Kunashir Island. This species was also recorded from China and Oriental region (Cate 2007). Schimmel (2003, 2004, 2006) and Schimmel and Tarnawski (2009) recognized 18 species from China and Indochina: however, G. versipellis had not been confirmed from the area. Therefore, the records of G. versipellis from China and the Oriental region were probably based on misidentifications of allied species, such as G. hubeiensis Schimmel, 2003, G. holzschuhi Schimmel, 2003, G. kresli Schimmel &amp; Tawnawski, 2009, G. sausai Schimmel, 2003 and G. sichuanensis Schimmel, 2003.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A28BC8D04419540FAA7BA094F6006F21	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
