Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) collected in Taiwan, with description of one new genus and eight new species, and a comparison with some regional faunas

One genus (Taiwancylis) and 8 new species (Cnesteboda davidsoni, Diactenis youngi, Archips taichunganus, Neocalyptis taiwana, Diplocalyptis shanpingana, Isodemis proxima, Hermenias pilushina, and Taiwancylis cladodium) are described. Two tribes of the subfamily Chlidanotinae, Chlidanotini and Polyorthini, and 4 species are newly recorded. Thus the list of Taiwan Tortricidae is enlarged to 235. The Taiwan tortricine fauna is discussed and compared with 3 local Oriental faunas (Sri Lanka, Sumatra, and the Philippines) and 2 Palaearctic faunas (Korea, Japan). However, being Oriental, strong connections between the Taiwan and Palaearctic faunas are noticed.
