Remarks.

This species was originally described from mainland China by Tu and Li (2006) and its presence in Taiwan was later confirmed by Tanasevitch (2011). Tian et al. (2022) in their map on Solenysa species distribution, report several records of the S. longqiensis group in Taiwan without specifying which species in particular they refer to. Our data from central Taiwan confirm that S. longqiensis is widespread across the island. Additionally, we report it as sympatric with the Taiwanese endemic and closely related S. yangmingshana, as we collected the two species together in the same habitat in more than one location (Fig. 13).
