Abstract
A remarkable new species, Sinotilla nigrothoracica sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on females from Taiwan. This new species is characteristic in having indistinct hypostomal teeth and a black mesosoma with the lateral margins strongly convergent posteriorly. An overview of female color patterns in the far-eastern Palaearctic and eastern Oriental regions is also presented.
