Abstract


Stenomacrus deletus (Thomson, 1897), belonging to Orthocentrinae of Ichneumonidae, is newly recognized in South Korea. Most Stenomacrus species are known as koinobiont endoparasitoids of dipteran, lepidopteran, and coleopteran hosts. In this study, an additional species is recorded for the first time from South Korea. Diagnoses of genus and an unrecorded species, as well as illustrations of this species are provided.

초록


한국산 긴뺨자루맵시벌아과의 미기록종인 미소얼굴긴뺨자루맵시벌(신칭)을 확인하고 국내에 처음으로 보고한다. 본 종의 상위분류군인 얼 굴긴뺨자루맵시벌속은 농업과 임업 해충인 파리목, 나비목, 딱정벌레목에 내부 기생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에는 미소얼굴긴뺨자루맵시 벌의 기재 및 주요 형질 사진을 제공한다.



    Orthocentrinae, a subfamily of small-sized parasitoids belonging to the family Ichneumonidae, was first described by Förster (1869). Most orthocentrine species are known to be koinobiont endoparasitoids of dipteran hosts of the superfamily Sciaroidea. South Korean Orthocentrinae are poorly known however recently South Korean species of the genera Aperileptus (3 species), Apoclima (1 species), Dialipsis (1 species), Eusterinx (9 species), Gnathochorisis (5 species), Orthocentrus (26 species), Pantisarthrus (1 species), Picrostigeus (1 species), Plectiscidea (3 species), Proclitus (1 species), and Symplecis (2 species) were reviewed (Choi et al., 2014;Choi and Lee, 2018, 2020a, 2020b;Humala et al., 2016, 2018, 2020). StenomacrusFörster, 1869 is a large genus comprising 73 valid species worldwide, and mainly reported from Western Palaearctic and Nearctic regions, with only six species have been distributed in the Eastern Palaearctic (Yu et al., 2016). This genus is newly recorded in South Korea for the first time, and Stenomacrus deletus (Thomson, 1897) is reported new to the Eastern Palaearctic region.

    In this paper, the new record of Stenomacrus deletus from South Korean fauna, as well as its diagnosis and photos, are provided.

    Materials and Methods

    Images were captured with an AxioCam MRc5 camera attached to a stereo microscope (Zeiss SteREO Discovery, V20; Carl Zeiss, Gttingen, Germany), processed using the Axio- Vision SE64 software (Carl Zeiss), and optimized with a Delta imaging system (i-solution, IMT i-Solution Inc. Vancouver, Canada). The morphological terminology generally follows that of Gauld (1991). The examined specimen is deposited in the Daegu National University of Education (DNUE), Daegu, South Korea.
