Abstract

Pentatomine stink bug, Plautia Stål is characterized by their moderate size, greenish body and brownish hemelytera. Some species like P. stali Scott, 1874 are considered important agricultural pests, and research on their control is crucial. This work aimed to review the taxonomy of Korean Plautia and provide information on their parasitoids. Based on reexamination, the Korean P. splendens Distant, 1900 population was reidentified as P. himechabane Ishikawa and Moriya, 2019. Each species was diagnosed based on images of dorsal habitus and genitalic structures of both sexes, with figures for observable variation in coloration and female spermatheca. Additionally, we reviewed the known parasitoids of Plautia and report two newly discovered Plautia-associated mites, including the genus Lobogynium, which was recorded from Korea for the first time.
