The species of Aphelopus Dalman (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae) from South Korea are reviewed. Sixteen species are listed, of which fifteen are new records from South Korea: Aphelopus atratus
The genus
As natural enemies, members of the
Previously only one species was recorded from South Korea (Olmi, 2009). As part of recent study of Dryinidae in South Korea, we here newly report fifteen
The morphological terminology used in the present study follows Olmi (1984, 1994, 1999). The images were captured with an Axiocam HRc camera through a Discovery V20 stereomicroscope and were produced with the AxioVision 40AC software (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). Final plates were prepared using Adobe Photoshop CS6.
Abbreviations are as follows: OL, distance between the inner edges of a lateral ocellus and the median ocellus; OOL, distance from the outer edge of a lateral ocellus to the compound eye; OPL, distance from the posterior edge of a lateral ocellus to the occipital carina; POL, distance between the inner edges of two lateral ocelli; TL, distance from the posterior edge of an eye to the occipital carina; MT, Malaise trap.
The material studied in the present paper is deposited at the Yeungnam University (YNU), Gyeongsan, South Korea.
