An Annotated Checklist of Leaf Beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) of Korea, With Comments and New Records

Abstract

An updated list of Chrysomelidae of Korea is provided with comments on all taxonomic, nomenclatural, and distributional changes. This paper is the first attempt to divide the distributional records of all Korean Chrysomelidae into records for North and South Korea. In total, 128 genera and 424 species are reported: 293 species in North Korea, 340 in South Korea, and 10 without precise localities in Korea; 22 species are excluded from the Korean fauna; 15 new national records from South Korea are reported, 10 of which are new to Korea.

A review of the sinica species group within the genus Lilioceris (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Criocerinae)

“…Distribution. Beijing, Shandong, Shaanxi, Henan, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou; Korea (Cho and An 2020).…”

“…We found some photographs identified as L. rugata on websites from Russia ( https://www.zin.ru/animalia/coleoptera/eng/lilrugkm.htm ) and Korea ( https://blog.naver.com/onegunah/110021296278 ) that are actually L. theana . Cho and An (2020) recorded nine specimens of L. rugata collected from South Korea. They are probably also L. theana (see Cho and An 2020 : 7, fig.…”

“… Cho and An (2020) recorded nine specimens of L. rugata collected from South Korea. They are probably also L. theana (see Cho and An 2020 : 7, fig. 13).…”

Morphology and distribution of sensilla on antennae and mouthparts of the adult bruchid beetles, Bruchidius coreanus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae)

“…The bruchidae seed beetle, Bruchidius coreanus Chûjô (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae), is an important storage pest that is found in East Asian countries, including China, South Korea, and Japan (Cho & An, 2020; Morimoto, 1990). Its larvae bore into and destroy the seeds of Gleditsia sinensis Lam, leading to a complete loss of seed viability.…”
