Abstract
The genus Taiwanolagria Masumoto is reviewed with two species, Taiwanolagria reni sp. nov. and Taiwanolagria merkli Masumoto, 1988. The new species from China can be diagnosed by the gently depressed male profemora, the expanded male metatibiae with basal tuft. Morphological comparisons of habitus, aedeagus, and diagnostic features of the two species are illustrated.
