Abstract
The genus Cryptophagus Herbst comprises over 200 described species worldwide, with 10 Korean species. The genus Micrambe Thomson includes 101 species within 3 subgenera, and a single species, Micrambe (s. str.) abietis (Paykull), is recorded in Korea. In this study, two cryptophagid beetle species, Cryptophagus pumilus Reitter and Micrambe (Micrambinus) bimaculata (Panzer), are reported for the first time in the Korean Peninsula. Illustrations of habitus, diagnostic characters, and distribution maps for these two species are provided.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
