Endomychidae from Korea (Insecta, Coleoptera)

Abstract

Until recent time only one endomychid species, Lycoperdina mandurinea Gerstacker 'was recorded by G. S. Lafer in 1992 from Korea. Following two species are newly added to the Korean fauna of Endomychidae. One is Cymbachus k0reanu.s sp. nov. and the other is Endomychus nigropiceus (Gorham) SO far known from Japan. EUMORPHINAE 1. Cymbachus koreanus sp. nov.Black to dark umber colored, pronotum very weakly and elytra rather strongly convex, antennae and tibiae slender, long. Elytra each with four yellow small markings, two of them subbasal and another two subapical in position.Head nearly flat, very weakly convex above sockets of antennae, very sparsely punctate, every puncture with short, fine and depressed hair, clypeal suture not grooved but very feebly ridged, clypeus trapezoidally produced, gently convex medially, apical margin rounded. Eyes rather large,
