The Taiwanese Margarinotus has been represented by five species, multidens, incognitus, boleti, curvicollis and niponicus (Bickhardt, 1913; Lewis, 1915; Mazur, 1997). In this study, I recognized six species of Margarinotus from Taiwan, which belong to two subgenera, Ptomister Houlbert et Monnot and Grammostethus Lewis. The subgenus Ptomister includes four species, two of them are new species. The other subgenus Grammostethus is represented by two species, one of them is a new species and probably has been referred to niponicus.
