Abstract
The genera Cryptophagus Herbst and Henoticus Thomson (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea: Cryptophagidae) include over 200 and approximately 35 described species worldwide, respectively. In this study, three cryptophagid beetle species, Cryptophagus micaceus Rey, Cryptophagus zonatus Lyubarsky, and Henoticus pilifer Reitter, are recorded for the first time in Korea. As a result, the genera Cryptophagus and Henoticus in Korea increased 13 and two species, respectively. Photographs of habitus, diagnostic characters, and a distribution map for the three 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.
