Abstract

In the present study, one species of the subfamily Doryctinae, Spathius depressithorax Belokobylskij, 1998, is reported for the first time from Korea. A diagnosis and photographs for the species are provided. Also, a total of 13 species of the genus Spathius Nees, 1819 known from Korea is presented with synonymies and distributional ranges.

    The genus Spathius Nees is the largest and very polymorphic genus in the subfamily Doryctinae (Belokobylskij, 2003). This genus comprises about 390 species, which have been known mostly from the Oriental and Australasian regions (Belokobylskij, 2003; Tang et al., 2015). About 70 species have been recorded in the East Palaearctic region (Belokobylskij and Maeto, 2009; Yu et al., 2012). Korean species of the genus were studied by Watanabe (1948), Kim (1963, 1970), Papp (1987, 1992), Ku et al. (2001), Ku (2010), Belokobylskij et al. (2012), and Kim et al. (2016).

    The members of Spathius species are idiobiont ectoparasitoid of various Coleopteran larvae: Anobiidae, Anthribidae, Bostrichidae, Buprestidae, Cerambycidae, Cleridae, Curculionidae, Dryophthoridae, Eucnemidae, Lyctidae, Ptinidae, and Scolytidae (Belokobylskij and Maeto, 2009). Most species of this genus have also been recorded from hymenopteran (Cynipidae and Xiphydriidae) and lepidopteran (Lymantriidae, Sesiidae, Tineidae, and Tortricidae) larvae (Belokobylskij and Maeto, 2009). In this study, we report a species of the subfamily, Spathius depressithorax Belokobylskij, for the first time from Korea. Also, a total of 13 known species of the genus SpathiusNees, 1819 in Korea is presented with brief information of the species.

    Materials and Methods

    Material examined in this study was deposited at the Science Museum of Natural Enemies, Geochang, Korea (SMNE). The specimens were photographed with Canon 1ds Mark II (MP-E65 mm macro lens). Terminology used in this paper follows that of van Achterberg (1993). Abbreviations used in the present study are as follows: GB, Prov. Gyeongbuk; GN, Prov. Gyeongnam; GW, Prov. Gangwon.

    SpathiusNees, 1819: 301; Nixon, 1943:190; Shenefelt and Marsh, 1976: 1386; Belokobylskij, 2003: 348. Type species (by monotypy): Cryptus clavatus Panzer, 1809.

    Diagnosis. Eyes glabrous or rarely sparsely setose. Vein Cu1a of fore wing sometimes interstitial, but often not interstitial and arising before middle of distal margin of subdiscal cell; subdiscal cell closed. Vein cu-a of hind wing present; vein M+Cu of hind wing 0.4-0.6 times as long as vein 1-M. Ovipositor from rather short to very long, as long as or longer than body.

    Spathius depressithoraxBelokobylskij, 1998: 98; 2003: 384; Belokobylskij and Maeto, 2009: 561; Tang et al., 2015: 40.

    Diagnosis. This species is closely related to S. exarator, but it can be distinguished by the mesosoma distinctly depressed, the mesoscutum weakly and gently elevated above pronotum, and 4th and 5th tergites basally reticulate-punctate.

    Redescription. Female (Fig. 1). Body length 4.2 mm; fore wing length 3.4 mm. Antenna with 34 segments; 1.25 times longer than body. Frons densely and coarsely striate. Face entirely rugose. Mesosoma slightly distinctly depressed, its length 2.4 times maximum height. Mesoscutum weakly and gently elevated above pronotum. Vein r of fore wing arising almost from middle of pterostigma; vein CU1a not interstitial, arising from anterior 0.3 of distal margin of subdiscal cell; marginal cell not shortened; second submarginal cell weakly narrowed distally. Vein m-cu of hind wing long, curved, distinctly infuscate, antefurcal. Petiole weakly curved ventrally in lateral view; length of petiole 2.5 times its apical width. 4th and 5th tergites basally reticulate-punctate. Ovipositor almost straight. Ovipositor sheath 1.3 times longer than metasoma, 0.7 times as long as body. Body reddish-brown; legs pale reddish brown; all tibiae pale yellow.

    Male (Fig. 2). Body length 2.0-2.7 mm; fore wing length 1.6-2.3 mm. Mesosoma length 2.0-2.4 times longer than maximum height. Length of petiole 1.75-1.8 times its apical width. Otherwise similar to female.
