| : | A new species of the genus Shiva in the family Nanophyidae is described from Taiwan as the first and easternmost species of the genus other than India under the name Shiva taiwanus sp. nov. This new species is characterized by their maculation and coloration as well as the asymmetrical pedon of aedeagus at apex among the congeners. It may be confused with Nanoph yes formosensis KONG by their superficial resemblance and coexistence on the flower buds of Lagerstroemia subcostata of the family Lythraceae. |
