The genus Corticarina in Taiwan was
previously known to contain three species, C. bhutanensis Johnson, C. clareae Johnson, and C. minuta (Fabricius). Corticarina bhutanensis Johnson and C. clareae Johnson are known from
the Palearctic, and C. minuta
(Fabricius) is a cosmopolitan species. In this study, the genus Corticarina in Taiwan is reviewed
for the first time, with three species being recognized, including two
recorded species, C. bhutanensis
Johnson and C. clareae
Johnson, and a species new to science, C. tenuis sp. nov. The species Corticarina minuta
(Fabricius) that had been recorded previously was not collected
from Taiwan in this study. The description, habitus, and male genitalia
of three species are provided, and the distributions and genetic
distances of three species in Taiwan are discussed.
