Abstract

The family Bothidae in Taiwan is reviewed. A total of 15 genera and 42 species are recognized. Historical records are re-evaluated and five species are recorded in Taiwan for the first time: Arnoglossus yamanakai Fukui & Ozawa, 1988, Crossorhombus valderostratus (Alcock, 1890), Parabothus polylepis (Alcock, 1889), Parabothus coarctatus (Gilbert, 1905), and Psettina variegata (Fowler, 1933). Laeops tongkongensis Chen & Weng, 1965 is recognized as a junior synonym of Laeops kitaharae Smith & Pope, 1906. Keys to genera and species, diagnostic characters, distribution and photographs are provided.
