Abstract
The genus Octotemnus Mellié (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea: Ciidae) is taxonomically reviewed from Korea. We present six species of Korean Octotemnus, including four species new to Korea: Octotemnus assimilis Kobayashi & Sota, 2019, Octotemnus aculeatus Kawanabe, 2002, Octotemnus crassus Kobayashi & Sota, 2019, and Octotemnus robustus Kawanabe, 2002. Diagnoses for the four newly recorded species, a key to Korean Octotemnus, photographs for diagnostic characters of adult, line drawings of the male genitalia, and ecological information on their host fungi 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.
