Chi-Feng Lee, Jolanta Świętojańska, and Charles L. Staines (2012) Taiwanese species of the genus Callispa Baly, 1858 are reviewed. The adults, eggs, larvae, and pupae of 2 species, C. houjayi sp. nov. and C. tsoui sp. nov., are described as new to science. The latter species was originally misidentified as C. ruficollis Fairmaire, 1889. Immature stages of both new species present 2 distinct types and are compared with other known Callispa immatures.
Key words: Taxonomy, New species, Cassidinae, Callispa, Leaf beetles.
