Ninety-five species of click beetles collected in Taiwan by several expeditions of the Hungarian Natural History Museum are listed. Merklelater gen. n. belonging to the tribe Ampedini is described. Fourteen species belonging to the genera Agrypnus ESCHSCHOLTZ, 1829, Scutellathous KISHII, 1955, Ampedus DEJEAN, 1833, Merklelater gen. n., Reitterelater PLATIA et CATE, 1990, Wallaceus SCHIMMEL, 2004, Podeonius KIESENWETTER, 1858, Mulsanteus GOZIS, 1875, Glyphonyx CANDEZE, 1863 and Melanotus ESCHSCHOLTZ, 1829 are described as new. New synonymy: Prodrasterius collaris taiwanus KISHII, 1996, syn. n. = Conoderus nigricollis (FLEUTIAUX, 1918).
