Description
Summary:The genus Loxocorys is reviewed along with the type species, L. sericea (Butler) and a new congener, L. curvilineata sp. nov. from Korea and Taiwan. The external and genital features of the two species are described. The generic features of Loxocorys are updated with diagnostic comparisons of the congeners. The generic relationships of the new species within Wurthiini are discussed with morphological evidence and a COI barcode-based phylogeny. Two COI barcodes of the new species are provided. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:982BE314-400E-4420-9717-D7D014DFEC0E
