Abstract

The genus Lozotaenia Stephens, 1829 is newly discovered in Taiwan with a new species, Lozotaenia xiaofengkouensis Lu & Hsu sp. nov., described herein. Images of adults and genitalia of both sexes are provided. We also report two newly recorded species from Taiwan: Electraglaia robusta Wang & Li, 2004 and Scotiophyes subtriangulata Wang, 2009. The female genitalia of both species and the host plant of S. subtriangulata are documented for the first time. Keys to the species of the genera Electraglaia Diakonoff, 1976 and Scotiophyes Diakonoff, 1976 in Taiwan are provided.
