New record of subfamily Prometopinae (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea: Nitidulidae) in Korea

The subfamily Prometopinae Böving and Craighead, 1931 is recorded from Korea for the first time. Two species from different genera are recognized; Prometopia unidentata Hisamatsu, 1959 and Paramatopia x-rubrum Reitter, 1884. Morphological comments, biology, illustrations of habitus with genitalia of both sexes and a key to species from Korea are provided.     

A review of the genus Oreta Walker in Korea,with description of a new species (Lepidoptera: Drepanidae)

Genus Oreta Walker of Drepanidae in Korea is reviewed, with six species including a new species, sambongsana sp. nov., which is closely similar to O. pulchripes in superficial and genital characters. Taxonomic notes on all known species, with illustrations of adults and the male genitalia are provided. A key to species is given.     

Taxonomic review of the tribe Oxyptilini (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) from Korea

The tribe Oxyptilini of the family Pterophoridae in Korea is reviewed. Four species, Capperia trichodactyla (Denis & Schiffermüller 1775), Oxyptilus chrysodactylus ([Denis & Schiffermüller] 1775), Procapperia pelecyntes (Meyrick 1908), and Tomotilus celebrates (Meyrick 1932) comb. nov., are newly reported from Korea. All recognized species are described with taxonomic notes and illustrations including male and female genitalia. Keys to the species are also presented.     

Discovery of three species of the genus Olethreutes (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) from North Korea

In the present study, three species of the genus Olethreutes: O. aviana Falkovitsh, O. obovata (Walsingham), and O. orthocosma (Meyrick), based on the material deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, are reported for the first time from North Korea. Among them, O. aviana Falkovitsh is newly recorded from the Korean peninsula. Photographs of the adults and genitalia of the species are presented.     

A newly recorded genus,Cyphagogus Parry (Coleoptera: Brentidae), from Korea based on C. iwatensis Morimoto, 1976

The genus Cyphagogus Parry in the family Brentidae is newly recorded from Korea, based on a newly designated allotype, C. iwatensis Morimoto male, which was described based on just two female types from Japan. Diagnosis and illustrations of detailed diagnostic characters, including line drawings of male genitalia are provided with a key for identifying East Asian species of the bipunctatus-group.     

Two Species of the Family Incurvariidae (Lepidoptera) New to Korea

Two species of the family Incurvariidae, Vespina nielseni Kozlov and Paraclemensia monospina Nielsen, are reported for the first time from Korea. The morphological characteristics of adults and the female genitalia of the two species are redescribed briefly, with illustrations.     

Two New Species of the Genus Melanotus Eschscholtz (Coleoptera: Elateridae) from Korea

Two new species, M. insularis sp. nov. and M. woonhahi sp. nov., of the genus Melanotus Eschscholtz from Korea are described. The external characteristics of both species are similar to a Japanese species, M. senilis Candeze. In addition to the difference of male genitalia, however, M. insularis can be distinguished by the strong body punctures from M. woonhahi and by short antennae and small and sparse body puncture from M. senilis.     

New record of Trisuloides rotundipennis Sugi (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Pantheinae) from Korea

In the present study, a noctuid species, Trisuloides rotundipennis Sugi, is reported for the first time from Korea. External characteristics and female genitalia and habitus of this species are illustrated, and information on host plant and distributional range is provided.     

Three Unrecorded Species of Family Nepticulidae (Lepidoptera) from South Korea

Here, we report three previously unrecorded species of Nepticulidae, Stigmella aladina Puplesis, S. fumida Kemperman et Wilkinson, and Bohemannia nubila Puplesis from South Korea. The external characteristics of adults and genitalia are briefly redescribed with illustrations.     

The male genitalia in the subfamily Agathidinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae): Morphological information of species on generic level

The morphology of the male genitalia of 46 Agathidinae species belonging to 20 genera has been investigated. Samples from various geographical regions were used to discover the evolution of the male genitalia within the subfamily Agathidinae. Those male genitalia may contain important phylogenetic information at least in certain groups of Braconidae. For the New World, three of four investigated species of Cremnops (C. haematodes, C. montrealensis and C. vulgaris) could suggest the form of the new genus with the other members of New World Cremnops, partly because of the deviating morphology of the male genitalia. Comparative morphology of the male genitalia of Bassus confirms that it is polyphyletic. The status of Lytopylus (L. erythrogaster) is again actualised. Once synonymised as Aerophilopsis, this species could be excluded from other Lytopylus species. The statistical analysis showed that smaller specimens (<6.67 mm) give less details on the morphology of the male genitalia comparing to larger.     

A new species of Clytus Laicharting (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from Korea with a key to Korean species

A new species of Clytus Laicharting (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is described from Korea. Illustrations of diagnostic characteristics of the new species including male genitalia are provided with a key to Korean Clytus species.
