Review of the Korean Species of the Tribe Bythinoplectini Schaufuss, 1890 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae: Euplectitae)

Abstract

Three new species in the tribe Bythinoplectini Schaufuss, 1890 (Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae: Euplectitae) are described from the Korean Peninsula: Zethopsus omibongensis Byeon and Park, new species, Euplectomorphus pygmaesimilis Byeon and Park, new species, and Parapyxidicerus koreanus Byeon and Park, new species. This brings the total Korean species in the tribe to four. The single species of Bythinoplectini previously known from the region, Parapyxidicerus carinatus Sawada, 1964, is redescribed. An identification key to Korean Bythinoplectini species, descriptions, habitus illustrations, diagnostic characters, a checklist, and distribution maps are provided.
