The subfamily Metopiinae is a medium sized ichneumonid composed of 26 genera and 836 species worldwide (Yu et al., 2012). The Korean Metopiinae fauna reports were made by Uchida (1930, 1955), Kim (1955), Townes et al. (1961, 1965), Momoi (1966), Lee and Cha (2000), Cha and Lee (2000), Cha et al. (2000) and Tolkanitz (2007b). New records of the genus
The genus
In this study, we report two newly recorded species,
Materials used in this study were collected by sweep and malaise traps, after which they were deposited in the animal systematic laboratory of Yeungnam University (YNU, Gyeongsan, Korea). Specimens were examined using an AxioCam MRc5 camera attached to a stereo microscope (Zeiss SteREO Discovery. V20; Carl Zeiss, Göttingen, Germany), processed with the AxioVision SE64 software (Carl Zeiss), and optimized with a Delta imaging system (i-solution; IMT i-Solution Inc., Vancouver, Canada).
