            <p>Female. Unknown.</p>
            <p>Type material.</p>
            <p>Holotype male, Taiwan, Nantou, Lianhuachi (120.8900E, 23.9260N), 2010. XI.11, Ding Yang. Paratype 2 males, same data as holotype. These specimens were collected from tropical forest by sweep net.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>China (Taiwan).</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The specific name refers to the yellow scutum.</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This new species belongs to  Elaphropeza ephippiata group, and is similar to  Elaphropeza scutellaris Bezzi from Taiwan of China, but may be separated from the latter by the scutum entirely yellow, scutellum and postnotum entirely blackish, hypopleuron black except narrow lower portion and metapleuron without spot. In  Elaphropeza scutellaris , the scutum usually has the indistinct vittae; the scutellum and postnotum are yellow with brownish spot in middle; the hypopleuron has no spot, the metapleuron is brownish at the upper part (Bezzi 1912; Shamshev and Grootaert 2007). </p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p>This can be easily distinguished from other known species of the genus by the thick arista and unique marking pattern of the mesoscutum.</p>

            <p>Type material.</p>
            <p>Holotype male, Taiwan, Taoyuan, Tamanshan (121.4507E, 24.7058N), 1620 m, 2011. VI. 14, Xiaoyan Liu. This specimen was collected from tropical forest by sweep net.</p>
            <p>Distribution.</p>
            <p>China (Taiwan).</p>
            <p>Etymology.</p>
            <p>The specific name refers to the mesoscutum with three spots.</p>
            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> This new speciesbelongs to  Elaphropeza biuncinata group.In the key of Shamshev and Grootaert (2007), this species runs to  Elaphropeza acanthi Shamshev &amp; Grootaert from Singapore, but may be separated from the latter by the mesoscutum with three spots, the first flagellomere relatively long (2.4 times longer than wide), and arista with the distinct pubescence. In  Elaphropeza acanthi , the mesoscutum has only one middle spot, the first flagellomere is relatively short (2.0 times longer than wide), and the arista is clothed in very short pubescence (Shamshev and Grootaert 2007). </p>
