Abstract
A short review of the genera Ecphylus Foerster, 1863 and Sycosoter Picard et Lichtenstein, 1917 is given. A new species, Ecphylus lini sp. nov., from Taiwan Island is described. Unlike all other species in the genus, it has the strongly striate second metasomal tergite. The species was reared from the bark beetle Scolytus japonicus Chapuis, 1875 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae). The genus Ecphylus is recorded in the Oriental fauna for the first time. The following new combinations are suggested: Sycosoter alboapicalis (Belokobylskij, 1993), comb. nov.; S. brevitergum (Belokobylskij, 1993), comb. nov.; S. conformis (Belokobylskij, 2009), comb. nov.; S. hahajimus (Belokobylskij et Maeto, 2008), comb. nov.; S. konishii (Belokobylskij, 2009), comb. nov.; S. medianus (Belokobylskij, Iqbal et Austin, 2004), comb. nov.; S. subtropicalis (Belokobylskij, 2009), comb. nov.; and S. topali (Papp, 1993), comb. nov.
