Li-Peng Hsu and Chin-Seng Chen (1997) A new species of Uenoa (Trichoptera: Uenoidae) from Taiwan. Zoological Studies 36(2): 123-126. The caddisfly, Uenoa taiwanensis n. sp., was formerly recorded as Uenoa tokunagai or Uenoa sp. in Taiwan. After comparing the male and female genitalia, and characteristics of the larvae, we found this to be a new species. The male, female, and larva are described and illustrated.

Key words: Uenoa, Taxonomy, New species.
