Besides, the photos of aedeagus provided by Wittmer (1997b) is not of Taiwanocantharis thibetanomima but Taiwanocantharis wittmeri sp. n. So it is necessary to redescribe and illustrate this species here.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/D84F70F3141DD4199261CB7F4F22E5E7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Newly recorded for Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>It had been noted by Švihla (2011) that Taiwanocantharis gansosichuana (Kazantsev, 2010) was possibly a junior synonym of Taiwanocantharis drahuska ( Švihla, 2004) without examining the types of the former species. During our study, the holotypes of the both nominal species and a large series of additional material at our disposal were examined, and no difference between them was discovered, thereby we suggest Taiwanocantharis drahuska be synonymized with Taiwanocantharis gansosichuana .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/470C2DD3990ACFB5D5C1267693FDB599	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
