Abstract
This study presents an updated and detailed inventory of the tortricid tribe Eucosmini found in Taiwan Province, China, highlighting 26 genera and 53 species. Several taxonomic novelties were revealed: The genus Coenobiodes is newly recorded for Taiwan Province, Hermenias semicurva is newly reported for China, and six species are newly recorded for Taiwan. Most Eucosmini species in Taiwan are widespread in eastern Asia and/or the Palearctic, but 12 (23%) are endemic to Taiwan. Biogeographical distributions are provided for each species, and a list of the specimens examined is provided where applicable. These findings underscore Taiwan’s status as a biodiversity hotspot and offer crucial data for understanding regional and global biodiversity patterns.
