Abstract
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.
