This study presents significant taxonomic updates for stag beetles of the genus Lucanus in Taiwan. The author reports a new locality record for Lucanus yulaoensis Lin, 2021 and proposes Lucanus kurosawai Sakaino, 1995 as a new junior synonym of Lucanus chuyunshanus Sakaino & Yu, 1993 (stat. nov.). Furthermore, the study reinstates the species status of Lucanus ogakii Imanishi, 1990 (stat. rev.). An updated checklist including all eleven currently recognized Taiwanese Lucanus species and subspecies is provided.
Keywords: Lucanus, new record, synonym, taxonomic revision, Taiwan.
