Abstract

Eight species of the genus Stenus Latreille are documented for the first time in Korea. Among them, three species, Stenus burjaetus Puthz, S. depressus Puthz and S. gibbicollis J. Sahlberg, are recorded for the first time in the Korean peninsula. And five species, S. coronatus coronatus L. Benick, S. decoratus L. Benick, S. koreanus Puthz, S. rugipennis Sharp and S. sharpi Bernhauer and Schubert, are newly recorded in South Korea. The adult photographs, illustrations of aedeagus and male sternite IX of them, and a taxonomic key of Korean Stenus species are presented.

    The genus Stenus Latreille, 1797 belonging to subfamily Steninae (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) includes more than 2,300 species worldwide (Puthz, 2008b). This genus is characterized by very large eyes occupying almost whole side of the head, prementum longer than head (Zheng, 1993). In East Asia, 296 species have been recorded in China (Tang and Li, 2013), 265 species in Japan (Naomi and Puthz, 2013; Naomi, 2015a, b) and 41 species in Korea (Kim et al., 1994; Smetana, 2004; Puthz, 2006; Puthz, 2008a; Puthz, 2011; Puthz, 2012a, b, c; Puthz, 2013a, b; Oh and Cho, 2013). Most species occur in habitats with high humidity, like nearby reservoir, pond and river or plant debris of forest and wetland (Rougement, 1983). They hunt prey such as springtail with their protrusible capture apparatus. For the hunting, the labium is protruded by hemolymph pressure and the apex of protrusive apparatus is modified into sticky cushions (Betz, 1996).

    While working on Korean Steninae, we identified following eight species for the first time in Korea: Stenus burjaetus Puthz, S. coronatus coronatus L. Benick, S. decoratus L. Benick, S. depressus Puthz, S. gibbicollis J. Sahlberg, S. koreanus Puthz, S. rugipennis Sharp and S. sharpi Bernhauer and Schubert. We describe these eight species with illustrations adult habitus, aedeagus and male sternite IX.

    Material and Methods

    Specimens were dissected last three abdominal segments from the body after softening in hot water. Aedeagi and dissected abdominal segments were mounted in Euparal on slides following the method described by Hanley and Ashe (2003). Photographs of sexual characters were taken with Ricoh GX100 camera attached to Nikon YS100 microscope; habitus photographs were taken with a Canon macro photo lens MP-E 65 mm attached to a Canon EOS 500D camera.

    The measurements are as follows: body length – from the anterior margin of the clypeus to the posterior margin of abdominal tergite X; forebody length – from the anterior margin of the clypeus to the apico-lateral angle of elytra; head width – width of the head across the eyes; pronotum width – maximum width of the pronotum; elytra width – maximum width of elytra; pronotum length – length of the pronotum along the midline; elytra length – from the humeral angle to the apico-lateral angle.

    The following abbreviations are used: GG, Gyeonggi province; GW, Gangwon province; CB, Chungbuk province; CN, Chungnam province; GB, Gyeongbuk province; GN, Gyeongnam province; JJ, Jeju province. Specimens examined were deposited in the Natural History Museum, Hannam University, Daejeon, Korea (HUNHM).
