A New Species of the Genus Rapisma (Insecta: Neuroptera: Ithonidae) from Taiwan.

ABSTRACT: A new species of the genus Rapisma, Rapisma taiwanense sp. nov., is described from Taiwan. The new species represents the first of its genus and family recorded in Taiwan. By collecting both genders, the hypothesis of sexual dimorphism is examined. This finding also expands the easternmost distribution border of Rapisma in the Oriental region. This discovery can be attributed to the development of social media which helps researchers access rare species.
