Abstract: A new species Chlorophaleobida taiwanensis sp. n. from Taiwan, China is described in this paper. The new species is similar to Ch. longusala Zheng, 1982, but differs from the latter in: posterior margin of pronotum without a small concave in the middle; tegmina longer, extending over the end of hind femur distinctly; and subgenital plate of male longer, apex acute. A key to all known species of the genus is given. The type specimen of the new species is deposited in the National Museum of Natural Science (NMNH), Taichung, Taiwan, China.
